The Facts:
The Saints have released Mehlhaff, leaving the team to spend its bye week trying to fill the position for a third time this season.
Reported by the Associated Press
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Mehlhaff, who the Saints drafted last spring but cut after training camp, was brought back to replace injured kicker Martin Gramatica in Week 6. In three games since, Mehlhaff was 3-of-4 on field goals and 9-of-10 on extra points. He missed an extra point in last Sunday’s 37-32 victory in London over the San Diego Chargers. The Saints have had five different kickers on their active roster during the past three seasons, the others being Olindo Mare, Billy Cundiff and John Carney. ... Carney, now 44, has been kicking for the New York Giants this season but could be released with Lawrence Tynes no longer injured.
