Sunseri Waived
 

The New Orleans Saints waived safety Vinnie Sunseri on Monday after two injury-shortened seasons.

Sunseri, a fifth-round draft pick out of Alabama in 2014, played in nine games as a rookie before suffering breaking his arm.

In 2015, he suffered a knee injury in the preseason and spent the entire year on the injured reserve.

The Saints also waived defensive end Tavaris Barnes on Monday.

Sunseri, 22, tore his ACL in his junior year of college at Alabama but still opted to enter the draft with a year of NCAA eligibility remaining.

After Sunseri's release, receiver Brandin Cooks is the only player remaining from the Saints' 2014 NFL draft class.

Cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste and linebacker Ronald Powell were waived last year. Linebacker Khairi Fortt didn't make it through his rookie season. Offensive tackle Tavon Rooks spent his rookie year on the practice squad but was waived after the 2014 season.

Another "great" draft year for us.

I don't believe we'll have anymore terrible drafts while Jeff Ireland has a say... I'm using the 2015 draft as a reference, we had a pretty decent one

Re: Sunseri Waived
 

Didn't Sunseri show some promise? Or is he pretty much done due to injury?

Re: Sunseri Waived
 

He showed promise until he hit IR...

After all the bad ones maybe, just may, we kick ass this year. I opt for the kicking of ass!

Clearing the deck for the influx of new defensive talent headed our way in a couple of days.

Who beat on the draft table for those guys in 2014?!?

Re: Sunseri Waived
 

We cannot afford to keep injuries around.

Re: Sunseri Waived
 

Beat the desk for?
Brandin Cooks - nope
Stanley Jean-Baptiste - nope
Vinnie Sunseri - nope but understood the injury gamble.
Ronald Powell - nope but understood the injury gamble.
Khairi Fortt - nope
Tavon Rooks - nope

The Saints also waived defensive end Tavaris Barnes on Monday.
