Kevin White‘s stint with the Saints has come to an end. The team has waived the wideout, reports NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero (via Twitter). The team has also cut fullback Alex Armah, per Aaron Wilson (on Twitter).
White, the seventh-overall pick in the 2015 draft, battled injuries throughout his Bears tenure and later caught on with the Cardinals and 49ers. He managed to get into three games with San Francisco last season without recording a reception, and he ended up getting cut by the squad in August.
He ultimately caught on with New Orleans, and he ended up seeing time in five games (one start) for his new squad. The 29-year-old contributed one 38-yard reception during his time with the Saints, and he ultimately saw more special teams snaps than offensive snaps. The Saints have been without Michael Thomas all season, and their leading receivers, Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway, have combined for only 54 receptions. If White couldn’t break into the Saints’ depth chart, he’ll be hard pressed to find another team that’s willing to give him a shot.
Armah, a former sixth-round pick, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Panthers, appearing in 57 games. He joined the Saints this past offseason and ended up getting into nine games (two starts), collecting 22 yards and one touchdown in six touches. Practice squad player Adam Prentice is the only other fullback in the organization.
Bears sure could draft ‘em…
Another Great Pace pick. He was injured when they drafted him, Injured when he was on the team and injured when they let him go. I’d like to say it was the stupidest pick he ever made, But I can’t. Anyway, I went the whole Thanksgiving weekend without watching a single NFL play, and it felt great. I plan to continue until Pace and Nagy are gone so thanks McCaskey’s. You stink just as bad as the people you hire.
Trubisky was a bad pick, also.
This is what happens when you have a bean counter as the President of your franchise. Ted Phillips has no clue about football. When a guy shows up and uses all the business buzzwords mixed in with football lingo, Ted is taken in hook,line and sinker.
In reality, Pace is a narcissist who is over his head as a GM. His ceiling at best is regional scout. But that is par for my Chicago Bears.
Nothing will change for them til McCaskey turns the reins over to a real football man to control the org. He and Phillips keep making one clueless hire after another. Mama needs to take his toy away.
Saints cut WHITE Wide Receiver !!
Imagine being a high draft pick 6 years ago and the stock photo is still of draft night.
38 yards per reception, though. Impressive haha.
Maybe his 4 on the wonderlic test should have been a sign.
