Add another Saints player to the list of those no longer with the team. Cadet became a restricted free agent this year and the Saints chose to not tender him, so the Patriots will now give him a home and a chance to play for the Super Bowl champs.
Source: the Patriots have signed former Saints RB Travaris Cadet.
