Saints make cuts, down to 75.

The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday that they have reached the NFL-mandated roster size of 75 players. The Saints parted ways with P Chris Hanson, RB Jamal Branch and WR Jamal Jones.

The Saints needed to trim their roster by three players by 3:00 p.m. and will need to reach the NFL roster size limit of 53 players by 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 1. Which means they have to cut 22 more people.
