The Saints part ways with a veteran wideout and add a quarterback.
Updated September 26, 2023 8:07 PMThe New Orleans Saints have released WR Tre'Quan Smith from injured reserve on Tuesday. Smith will now be a free agent. The Saints have also announced that they are signing QB Jake Luton away from the Carolina Panthers practice squad onto their 53-man active roster, as reported by NFL Insider Field Yates.
A third-round choice by the Saints out of Central Florida in the 2018 NFL Draft, Smith was the last player of that year's draft still on the team. In five years with New Orleans, he had 131 receptions for 1,764 yards and 18 touchdowns. The two highlights of Smith's career both occurred as a rookie in 2018. He caught three passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Washington Redskins. In that Monday night win, Smith caught a 62-yard scoring pass from Drew Brees that made Brees the top career passing yardage leader in NFL history. Later that year, Smith had 10 catches for 157 yards and a score in a rout of the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Luton, 27, played collegiately at Oregon State and has spent time as a backup or practice squad player for the Jaguars, Seahawks, Dolphins, Saints, and Panthers. He finished the 2022 season on the New Orleans practice squad.
