Carney statement . . .
 

“Garrett & I have become very good friends over the last year and a half. I am here to help him & help the Saints. There is no ‘stealing somebody’s job’ or anything of that nature. Garrett was phenomenal last year. Around the league, everybody has very high respect for what he did in the playoffs & the Super Bowl. He will remain a great kicker in the NFL. I am just here to help him through this,” - John Carney

Here's an article on the matter...

New Orleans Saints kicker John Carney says he's here to help the Saints and Garrett Hartley | NOLA.com

Then bring him back to Coach. Don't cut AA! that sucks.

Exactly. Hire him on as a coach, but don't waste a much needed friggen' roster spot if he's not even going to kick.

I think he will kick.

It's gonna be like when he and Cundiff were here. Carney gets the short ones, Hartley gets the 40+ yarders that he seems to be automatic at making.

Ok this shocked me !!!! AA was cut. Dam. I agree bring him back to coach.

whats up with the cut and the 46 year old pickup. the 3 year investment that was a man among boys in preseason.what chance he stays a free man till one of us goes down at that position.

The albino Chubbs Peterson? Watch out for those gators in the bayous, John! They may take off your foot!

Kinda hard since he don't want to coach, its not like the Saints could force the guy.
