This is pretty much our last option.

Don't think he'll clear waivers.

The LV Raiders could pick him up since they've already released Ruggs.

Tampon picked up former LSU Cyril Grayson whom the Saints cut a while back last year.

Jackson won't be subject to waivers. He'll be a free agent when released.

You are correct. Thanks for the clarification. The keyword is "released" here. DJ can sign anywhere he chooses but does he want to play for NO with a backup QB?

I could see him staying closer to home, sign with the Raiders (Ruggs released) & catch passes from a gunslinger but what do I know.

Edit - NBC Sports use the language "released" but ESPN, NFL says "waived". If waived, he would have to clear waivers.

Which one is it?

On Tuesday before 5:00 EDT (trade deadline) it would have been released. After it is waived. Veterans with four years on the books, I believe, are not subject to waivers prior to the deadline.

Concerning OBJ concerns with his dad.

All players, even veterans, are subject to the waiver process after the trade deadline has passed.
