The New Orleans Saints waived 2015 third-round pick Garrett Grayson on Wednesday, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports.
Grayson didn't see the field during his rookie season, and he struggled with turnovers in exhibition action this year.
Clearing waivers could eventually see him land back with New Orleans' practice squad, but the team appears comfortable heading into the season with Luke McCown as the lone backup to Drew Brees.
Grayson was drafted with the idea of grooming him as an potential heir to Brees' throne after a senior season at Colorado State in which he threw for 4,006 yards, 32 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions.
