Saints take field while also cutting some veterans

The Saints have taken the field for the first time since the lockout ended, but without top draft picks, some key free agents, and a few veterans they've let go. Coach Sean Payton says New Orleans has released cornerback and former LSU standout Randall Gay, as well as long-snapper Jason Kyle and 2009 fourth-round draft choice Stanley Arnoux. Arnoux, a linebacker, has been plagued by injuries and failed his physical. Payton says Kyle also failed a physical and was terminated. The cuts rid the Saints of around $5 million in salary. Not practice were first-round draft choices Cam Jordan and Mark Ingram, along with third-round pick Martez Wilson, who were not signed yet. Meanwhile, Payton says the Saints have re-signed free agent linebacker Danny Clark.
