NASHVILLE -- The Tennessee Titans have waived defensive end Adewale Ojomo more than two weeks after he was arrested in a prostitution sting. wholesale nfl jerseys . The Titans announced the move Monday afternoon, hours after the team started its off-season program. Ojomo had joined the Titans practice squad in December after stints with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and on the practice squads in Seattle and Buffalo last fall. He was booked March 21 in Miami on a charge of soliciting a prostitute after police say Ojomo offered the undercover detective $100 for sex. The police report said Ojomo was planning to go to a nearby store for condoms but was arrested before he could drive away. Ojomo played at the University of Miami. cheap jerseys . They did take one chance on a free agent-to-be however, and it didnt pay off. Rory Kohlert, selected by the Redblacks in the expansion draft from Winnipeg, has signed as a free agent with the Blue Bombers. nfl jerseys china . And the Ottawa Redblacks linebacker wanted to be sure his words delivered their full effect. "Its an insult," he said over the phone Wednesday after the CFL Players Association lifted its media ban, giving its members the ability to speak openly about stalling collective bargaining talks. NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees pulled himself up in the end zone after his diving touchdown scramble and held both arms high, basking in the cheers pouring forth from the rollicking Superdome crowd. It has only been a year since the Saints were 0-3, shrouded in scandal and going nowhere. It might as well have been a lifetime ago. Brees passed for three touchdowns to go with his scoring run and the Saints beat the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 on Sunday to improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2009, when they won the Super Bowl. "Hopefully we can just continue to get a little bit better, and gain confidence and momentum and keep the train rolling," said Brees, who connected twice with tight end Jimmy Graham for scores and once with Robert Meachem. "Im very happy to be 3-0, 2-0 in the (NFC South) division, 3-0 in the NFC. All those things are significant." Defensively, New Orleans couldnt ask for much more. The Saints allowed a single-season record 7,042 yards a year ago. This season under new co-ordinator Rob Ryan, New Orleans has allowed four TDs in the first three games. The unit produced four sacks and two interceptions of Arizonas Carson Palmer. Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan sacked Palmer twice. Outside linebacker Junior Galette added another, as did rookie defensive end Glenn Foster. "It was all just pressure everywhere," said Jordan, who exchanged high-fives with fellow defensive lineman Akiem Hicks in the locker room afterward. "When youre part of a D-line like that, I mean, its a party." First-round draft choice safety Kenny Vaccaro made his first career interception, and Keenan Lewis, acquired in free agency last off-season, had his first interception with the Saints. Coach Sean Payton, who looks to be building another contender after returning from last seasons bounty ban, summed it up as a "really good afternoon." "We finished this game the way we like to," Payton said. "Im proud of our guys." Arizona (1-2) had a 7-0 lead after driving 80 yards on the games opening possession, with Alfonso Smith scoring on a 3-yard run. After that, the Cardinals didnt score. "They can rush the passer. Theres two really good pass rushers that people dont know a lot about,&qquot; said Palmer, who was 18 of 35 for 187 yards. cheap nfl jerseys. "Cameron Jordan is really good. He showed that today. Junior Galette is really good. They are physical guys. They stop the run. They rush the passer and are a really good combination." Brees was 29 of 46 for 342 yards. He was intercepted once by New Orleans native and former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu. That ended a scoring threat, but only delayed the inevitable on a day when Arizonas short-handed defence was little match for the prolific Saints passing attack. Arizona, whose defence was missing four starters by early in the second half, had no answer for the 6-foot-7 Graham, who caught nine passes for 134 yards, one week after catching 10 passes for 179 yards in Tampa Bay. "We had critical injuries, and some young guys had to chip in and play," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "They didnt handle it as well as I hoped." The Saints responded quickly to the Cardinals opening score with Brees pinpoint 27-yard pass to Meachem. New Orleans took the lead in the second quarter on Brees 16-yard, back-shoulder throw to Graham, who went up high and twisted to make a grab that safety Yeremiah Bell was powerless to stop. "Its just run, jump and get it," said Graham, a former college basketball power forward. "Thats just what we do." Brees TD scramble made it a three-score game early in the fourth. Vaccaros interception thwarted the next drive and started the series that culminated with Grahams second TD on a quick 7-yard pass over the middle. "Today was a huge step for us," said Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton, who joined New Orleans as a free agent in 2012, only to be part of the first Saints team to miss the playoffs in three seasons. "Last year, I dont know what that was, but this year is what I definitely expected. I love being here." NOTES: Cardinals starting NT Dan Williams was excused for the death of his father in a car accident. OLB Lorenzo Alexander (right foot) and S Rashad Johnson went out in the first half, and OLB Sam Acho (left ankle) went down in the third quarter. ... Saints WR Lance Moore left the game in the second half and the Saints did not provide an update on his condition. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
