Saints Place C Chris Watt On Retired List, Waive RB Marcus Murphy

The New Orleans Saints officially waived RB Marcus Murphy and placed C Chris Watt on the reserve/retired list.

Watt, 26, was taken in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Chargers. He was in the third year of his four-year, $2,816,640 rookie contract before he was waived with a failed physical designation.

The Chargers placed Watt on the PUP list to open training camp and kept him on the list at the start of the regular season but was unfortunately waived in November of last year. The Saints signed him to a contract last month.

In 2015, Watt appeared in five games and played a total of 184 snaps for the Chargers.
