Isa Abdul-QuddusThey say success is the best revenge

Adam CaplanThe #Saints waived DT Mitch King late this week. He passed through waivers, so he's free to sign with another team.

Adam CaplanKind of surprised the #Saints cut Mitch King. Always thought he had some upside as a 4th DT.

Larry Holder@caplannfl King probably sat fifth on depth chart behind Bunkley, Ellis, Tom Johnson, Ayodele.

Adam CaplanTrue, but thought he'd make it to camp. RT @LHolderCBS: @caplannfl King probably sat fifth on depth (cont) http://tl.gd/hlrr5i

Larry Holder @caplannfl Agree with you there.

Larry HolderAs first noted by @caplannfl, #Saints have confirmed that DT Mitch King has been waived.
