Player Notes
October 1, 2008
Buck Ortega has once again been waived by the Saints, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:He cleared waivers and has returned to the practice squad. He was released to make room for Joey Harrington on the 53-man roster.
September 18, 2008
Buck Ortega was brought back to the Saints' practice squad just a few days after being released by the team, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:Ortega holds no fantasy value. The third-year pro is yet to record a reception in the NFL.
September 16, 2008
The Saints released Buck Ortega Tuesday.

Our View:Ortega was just signed off the practice squad before this past week's game, but the team opted to bring back Billy Miller to take his place.
July 27, 2008
Buck Ortega has been re-signed by the Saints, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Terms were not disclosed.

Our View:He was brought back just as an extra tight end for practice, following the release of Eric Johnson.
July 22, 2008
Buck Ortega is expected to be released by the Saints following the acquisition of stud Jeremy Shockey, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:His release would leave Eric Johnson, Mark Campbell, and Billy Miller likely fighting for two spots on the Saints' roster at tight end. Ortega held no fantasy value prior to the Shockey trade.
