Saints Waive LB Sae Tautu, Sign DT Taylor Stallworth

The New Orleans Saints officially waived LB Sae Tautu and signed DT Taylor Stallworth to a contract on Tuesday.

Tautu, 25, signed on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of BYU back in May of last year but was waived with an injury designation during the preseason. A few weeks after he reverted to the Saints’ injured reserve list, New Orleans cut him Tautu loose with a settlement.

Tautu returned to the Saints this past January on a futures contract.

During his four-year college career at BYU, Tautu recorded 100 total tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, three pass defenses, and one forced fumble.
