RE: Quality Player Cut

Nice thing is if the deal doesn't get done, we're still under the cap. Plus cutting Brooks and Bouman means even more available for some of the truly talented player that become available.

RE: Quality Player Cut

Can we please pursue Mr. Adams and Mr. Buckner. How long has it been since we had a dominating DT? Wasn't it when we were in the playoffs?

RE: Quality Player Cut

I'm waiting for Tampa Bay to HAVE to make it's cuts. Think about players like Derrick Brooks or Shelton Quarles in our linebacking core. Man that'd be sweet.

RE: Quality Player Cut

This year will be a buyers market. NEXT year with no CBA the Saints might as well pack it in, Benson will NOT pay what would be needed in a non-cap year. But get a couple of these guys signed with one year contracts to wins some games.

The real team to watch out for is the Washington Redskins. Lavar Arrington is said to be on his way out and I would love to add him to LB core. Think about him, Watson, and maybe someone like Bobby Carpenter next year. Wow!

You don't cut a guy that's only going to save you a couple hundred thou when you need to drop 17 million. They'll keep Lavar.

Oh and welcome to the boards.
