Saints release WR Brandon Marshall, claim TE Erik Swoope off waivers

Brandon Marshall is leaving New Orleans without ever having played a snap for the Saints.

The wide receiver was let go on Wednesday as the team claimed tight end Erik Swoope off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts.

Marshall was signed by New Orleans last month after Dez Bryant suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. He was inactive for every game he was with the team.
