According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the New Orleans Saints are not exercising the fifth-year option on G Cesar Ruiz's contract. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Ruiz has had his struggles in New Orleans, not quite living up to his draft price of 24th overall. He's found his role with the Saints as an offensive guard, and he played 100% of the team's offensive snaps in 2022, but the team must not think he's worth the guaranteed price of the option. He'll become a free agent in 2024, and he could have the chance to secure a second contract one year sooner.
