New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced Monday that the club has waived DE Braylon Broughton.
Broughton, 6-6, 272, was originally signed as an undrafted free agent prior to the 2012 season from Texas Christian University where he was a three-year letterman. Broughton appeared in 40 games for the Horned Frogs, totaling 45 tackles (32 solo), 9.5 stops for a loss, three sacks, three passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and one blocked kick.
The Dallas, Texas native spent the 2012 offseason with the team before being added to the practice squad at the start of the regular season.
