Saints released RB Joe Banyard with an injury settlement.
Banyard was signed as an undrafted free agent out of UTEP by the Jaguars in April but was waived then signed by New Orleans in June. Even if healthy, he was an extreme long shot to make the Saints' 53-man roster. Mon, Sep 10, 2012 07:06:00 PM

Saints signed RB Joe Banyard to a three-year contract.

Banyard (5-11/213) was waived by Jacksonville last month after going undrafted out of UTEP. He rushed for 867 yards with six TDs on 127 carries as a senior. Although Banyard impressed at last week's tryout, he's an extreme long shot to make the final roster.
