Two years into five-year deal
The New Orleans Saints have released tight end Coby Fleener just two years into his five-year, $36 million contract, a source confirmed. The news was first reported by the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin. (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Fleener saw his role decrease in 2017 (22-295-2), before missing the final six games with a concussion. The Saints signed veteran Ben Watson in the off-season who will likely start with Josh Hill filling a backup role.
