John Theus: Waived by New Orleans

Theus (illness) was waived by the Saints on Wednesday, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Theus, who the Saints claimed off waivers in February, had previously been cut by the team earlier this month, but reverted to New Orleans' injured reserve list. The Saints will now cut ties with the lineman entirely, thereby allowing him to sign with any of the league's remaining 31 teams.
