The Saints are letting free agent DL Shaun Rogers and Aubrayo Franklin hit the open market. Making $4 million, Rogers was bust in his first season in New Orleans in 2011, tallying just 22 tackles and zero sacks. Franklin was even less productive, making just 17 tackles in a part-time role. The Saints' conversion to a 4-3 defense means Franklin will likely walk. If Rogers is back, it will be at a cheaper price.
