The New Orleans Saints have been cutting down to 53 players on their roster for a few days now and it's finally ramping up as they look to form their official 53-man roster.

While the Saints have a lot of easy decisions to make to get to 53 players, there were some interesting players waived this week, including quarterback Jake Haener.

In total, the Saints waived wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr., cornerback Dalys Beanum, safety Elliott Davison, defensive end Fadil Diggs, defensive end Isaiah Foskey, quarterback (Jake) Haener, linebacker D'Marco Jackson, offensive lineman Easton Kilty, cornerback Rico Payton, defensive tackle Jayden Peevy, cornerback Jayden Price, linebacker Nephi Sewell, kicker Charlie Smyth, tight end Treyton Welch, and running back Marcus Yarns.
