Irish kicker Charlie Smyth cut from New Orleans Saints two weeks before start of NFL season

Irish kicker Charlie Smyth has been cut by the New Orleans Saints two weeks prior to the start of the NFL season. The roster move comes after Smyth lost a kicking competition with teammate Dan Carlson.

The decision to waive Smyth concludes his current stint with the franchise as teams trim their rosters ahead of the upcoming professional football campaign.
