The Facts: The Saints are releasing Sanders. The veteran wideout confirmed the news on his official Instagram account. "New Orleans it's been real," the post was captioned. "Sucks we didn't bring a super bowl to the city which was the goal when I signed but it was a blessing to showcase my talents in front of you guys weekend and week out."

Diehards Line: Sanders signed a two-year, $16 million contract last offseason, but as CBSSports.com suggested, for practical purposes he was being paid $10 million for a single season. He'll now become an unrestricted free agent again, a 61-catch, 726-yard, five-TD season. He was targeted 82 times in 14 games. The soon-to-be 34-year-old hasn't reached 1,000 yards since 2016, but he still appears capable of starting in the NFL. CBS speculates that Sanders could be a popular fallback option for teams that miss out on Kenny Golladay and Will Fuller in free agency.
