New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced Thursday that the club has released offensive lineman Jamar Nesbit and linebacker Mark Simoneau, and that the club will release defensive end Charles Grant on Friday.
Grant, one of the team's two first-round draft choices in 2002, played in 118 regular season games for the Saints over eight seasons - starting 106 of them - and tallied 505 tackles with 47 sacks to rank eighth on the club's all-time sack list. He also had one interception, 14 forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. He started all 16 regular season games for New Orleans in 2009 and made 53 tackles with 5½ sacks before being injured in the regular season finale, ending the year on injured reserve for the second consecutive season
Yes, he was overvalued and under-productive for most of his career here, really. But defensive ends don't exactly grow on trees.
