Saints release Junior Galette for off-field incidents
New Orleans Saints are releasing defensive lineman Junior Galette.
What It Means:
This is a result of Galette's various off-field incidents in recent years, including domestic abuse. The Saints have paid him $18 million since last season, per Rapoport. Kasim Edebali will likely be the man to take his spot.
The Saints had the worst defense in the NFL last season, according to our schedule-adjusted Net Expected Points metric, which compares a team to expectation-level performance. Our algorithms projected Galette for 49 tackles and 12.5 sacks this season.
