New Orleans Saints resmi melepas Samori Toure, wide receiver yang sebelumnya bernaung di skuad latihan sejak November tahun lalu. Keputusan ini diumumkan setelah Saints mendatangkan tiga penerima baru dalam draft NFL 2026, yakni Jordyn Tyson (pemilihan ke-8), Bryce Lance (pemilihan ke-136), dan Barion Brown (pemilihan ke-190).
Menurut Mike Garafolo dari NFL Network, pelepasan Toure dilakukan untuk membuka ruang bagi pemain-pemain baru tersebut. Toure, yang berusia 28 tahun, sempat tampil dalam pertandingan terakhir musim lalu melawan Atlanta Falcons.
Toure awalnya dipilih oleh Green Bay Packers pada ronde ketujuh draft NFL 2022. Selama kariernya, ia mencatatkan 23 penampilan dengan dua kali menjadi starter, serta mengumpulkan 14 tangkapan bola untuk 163 yard dan satu touchdown. Meskipun memiliki kontrak masa depan dengan Saints, kehadiran pemain-pemain muda dinilai lebih menjanjikan untuk masa depan tim.
Keputusan ini juga mencerminkan strategi Saints dalam membangun skuad yang lebih kompetitif dengan talenta-talenta muda yang potensial.
