The Saints opted to release Stoneburner on Monday, The New Orleans Advocate reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stoneburner signed a reserve/future contract with the team following the conclusion of the 2017 season. Prior to the that, he was signed to the team's practice squad due to a rash of injuries at the position. The Ohio State product entered the league in 2012 as an undrafted free agent. Along with the Saints, he has spent time with the Packers, Dolphins, and Rams.

Stoneburner signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints earlier this month, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

EDGE Analysis

Stoneburner entered the league in 2012 as an undrafted free agent out of Ohio State. The 6-3, 249-pound tight end has spent time with the Packers, Dolphins and Rams, but was signed to the Saints practice squad in September 2016. Stoneburner will compete for a roster spot next season as the Saints' third-string tight end behind Coby Fleener and Josh Hill.

Packers promoted TE Jake Stoneburner from the practice squad. Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Ohio State, Stoneburner was released at final cuts. He caught three passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in the preseason. He'll play on special teams if he's active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
