The New Orleans Saints announced a series of moves Tuesday. ย The team signed NT Tyrone Ezell and LB Marcus Thompson, and waived NT Moses McCray and waived/failed physical DE/OLB Cheta Ozougwu.
Ezell was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh by the Houston Texans in May. ย He was overshadowed in college by teammate Aaron Donald, but Ezell is a good athlete for his size and could compete for a roster spot.
