Only Saints head coach Sean Payton and General Manager Mickey Loomis know if long snapper Kevin Houser's unceremonious release last week was related to Tax Credit-gate but the evidence points overwhelmingly to Houser being kicked out of the house for his unwitting role as point man in Wayne Read's film tax-credit scheme at Louisiana Film Studios. Houser was scheduled to earn $745,000 this season while his replacement, Jason Kyle, will earn at least $845,000, the minimum the Saints can pay him as a 14-year veteran. It couldn't have been for performance since in nine seasons, Houser never botched a bad snap. Source: The Times-Picayune
