Mike Triplett of ESPN reports that the Saints are releasing LB Nate Stupar on Monday.
This is likely the corresponding move for RB Mike Gillislee, who was signed to a contract last night.
Stupar, 30, is a former seventh-round pick of the Raiders back in 2012. He lasted just a few months in Oakland before he was signed off of their practice squad by the Eagles.
After that, Stupar had brief stints with the Eagles, 49ers, and Jaguars before being claimed off of waivers by the Falcons at the start of the 2014 season. Stupar spent one year in Atlanta before joining the Saints for the 2016 season.
Stupar was in the final year of his three-year, $5 million contract that included $1.2 million signing bonus and was set to make a base salary of $1.5 million for the 2018 season.
In 2017, Stupar appeared in four games and recorded one tackle for the Saints before suffering an ACL tear.
