Report: New Orleans Saints cut All-Pro Safety J.T. Gray

By Ross Jackson

METAIRIE, La. — The NFL season is filled with surprising moves and the New Orleans Saints just made a shocker. 

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, the Saints have released veteran safety J.T. Gray. 

This is a big surprise as Gray has not only been a constant providing safety depth for the team, but was in line to become a fifth-year team captain on special teams. 

The Saints’ top gunner may end up finding his way back to the team. But for now, he hits the open market in a rare instance during his seven-year career. 

Gray landed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He is a two-time second-team All-Pro and received first-team All-Pro honors in 2021.
