NEW ORLEANS — After less than a year in New Orleans, Emmanuel Sanders announced his departure from the Saints.

The wide receiver took to Instagram with a heartfelt post about his time with the Saints.

“New Orleans it’s been real. Sucks we didn’t bring a super bowl to the city which was the goal when I signed but it was a blessing to showcase my talents in front of you guys weekend and week out.”

Sanders signed a two-year, $16 million contract in April of 2020.
