Grissom was released by the Saints on Friday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom was looking to earn a depth role with the Saints, after suiting up in 37 games for the Patriots the past four seasons. The 27-year-old will hope to latch on as a special teams contributor and depth defensive lineman with another team in the league.

Grissom signed a contract with the Saints on Monday, according to the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom was originally drafted by the Patriots in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He was then released by New England in November after appearing in only four games during the 2018 season. A playoff stint with the Colts followed, but wasn't enough to the defensive end around long term. He'll now look to make New Orleans his new home as he aims to secure a depth role on the defensive line.

Grissom signed a contract with the Colts on Tuesday.
