The New Orleans Saints kicker battle has come to a close for now, with rookie Charlie Smyth being sent to waivers per Nola.com’s Luke Johnson, and confirmed by NewOrleans.Football’s Mike Triplett. This is an intriguing one, as it clearly indicates Blake Grupe winning the starting kicking spot at this point in time, and subjects Smyth to waivers even as an IPP player. But the rookie from Ireland could still return.
