Herring had one year remaining on his 3-year contract with the team. This move will free up another $1.6 million of much-needed salary cap space, according to Holder.
Will Herring himself made the news official via his Twitter account.
Thankful for my time with the Saints, my teammates, and their incredible fans!!

No big deal. This was a move that had to be made if the Saints plan to upgrade their linebacking corps.
