Merritt was waived by the Saints on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Merritt was a healthy inactive for the team's win over the Panthers on Monday. After spending time with New Orleans in each of the last two seasons as a receiver, the 26-year-old converted over to running back but was unable to garner a consistent role there either.
