After claiming tight end Erik Swoope off waivers on Wednesday, the Saints are releasing him, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Swoope spent less than 24 hours in New Orleans and he’ll now go straight back on the waiver wire. 
The Saints’ juggling is perplexing, though it could be a sign of a larger move to come. The Saints have been hoping to get wide receiver Ted Ginn back on the field and, if he can’t go, offensive lineman Josh LeRibeus is also a candidate for return.
Help from LeRibeus, who appeared in all 16 games last season, would be nice, but Ginn would probably be more of a difference-maker. Last year, Ginn turned in one of his better offensive seasons with 53 catches for 787 yards and four scores. He can also aid in the return game, where he has thrived in the past.
Swoope, meanwhile, could easily wind up back with Indianpolis, where he is a beloved locker room presence.
So beloved, they cut him midseason.
You don’t understand team dynamics, obviously. Locker room is a player haven; having nothing to do with management.
With that statement; Indy management doesn’t know their own locker room then.
Exactly
What an idiot! A writer states a player who was let go was popular in his locker room & you deduce that he must not have been popular because he was let go. Apparently, on the field production should not be a factor if a team knows their own locker room; if he was beloved by his teammates the team should hold onto him even if his play doesn’t merit it. And another idiot agrees with you. Must be Patriot fans.
