Report: Saints decline to match Ravens offer sheet to Willie Snead

As expected, the New Orleans Saints are saying goodbye to wide receiver Willie Snead.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Snead will join the Ravens after the Saints declined to match Baltimore’s offer sheet for the restricted free agent.

The two-year deal reportedly worth $7 million deal includes $2 million in signing bonus and a potential $3.4 million in incentives.

The Saints had essentially replaced Snead earlier this offseason by signing wideout Cameron Meredith away from the Chicago Bears.

Snead, an undrafted free agent who ended up with New Orleans in 2015, caught 141 passes for 1,879 yards and seven touchdowns over his first two seasons with the Saints. However, a suspension for a DUI, an hamstring injury and an overall drop off in production last season help lead to the parting of the ways between player and team.
