Overview
- Reporting from New Orleans beat writer Nick Underhill first disclosed that the Saints cut Brock Rechsteiner as teams finalized rosters.
- The club offered no official explanation for the release, which has prompted media and fan links to his six-game NFL suspension for performance-enhancing substances and uneven training-camp play.
- Rechsteiner went undrafted and earned a contract after a rookie minicamp tryout, but he finished the preseason with just one catch and little game film to show coaches.
- He has an NIL deal with WWE and is the son of longtime wrestler Scott Steiner, facts that industry outlets say make a move to professional wrestling a realistic possibility if football options dry up.
- Rechsteiner can still pursue other football paths such as practice squads or Canadian leagues, and the next clear signals will be a team statement, a new signing, or any formal notice from WWE.
