The Facts: According to Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, coach Sean Payton announced Nicks' release after practice.

Diehards Line: Nicks’ comeback bid didn’t even make two weeks, as the Saints apparently didn’t see enough from him to continue. The former Giants wideout caught seven passes last year in his second stint in New York, after a less-than-stellar trip to Indianapolis. He hasn’t topped 1,000 yards since 2011, and may not get many more chances.
