The New Orleans Saints officially declined DE Payton Turner‘s fifth-year option on Thursday.
Picking up the option would have cost New Orleans $13.387 million fully guaranteed for the 2025 season. He missed most of last season on injured reserve.
Turner, 25, is a former first-round pick by the Saints in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Houston. He’s entering the final year of a four-year, $12,524,737 contract. He’s set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
In 2023, Turner appeared in two games and recorded one tackle.
