Lands with Jets

Time up in New Orleans
The Saints released Morstead on Thursday, John DeShazier of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Morstead became the most accomplished punter in franchise history over the course of his 12 years with the Saints. He'll be best remembered for his performance as a rookie in Super Bowl XLIV, when he opened the second half with a successful onside kick. The 34-year-old will be free to immediately begin searching for another landing spot, if he decides to continue his football career.
