Cut down day.
 
Teams need to get to 75 players today. Who will be cut by the Saints.

Re: Cut down day.
 
Names we dont recognize very well yet is my best guess.

QBREES9 08-27-2012 10:23 AM

Re: Cut down day.
 
Yeah. I don't expect any surprise.

Well ..... That being said there could "possibly" be a surprise we are not thinking about.


Vilma.

Just hypothetically...

From a Saints perspective we are getting rid of dead weight and narrowing choices before the final..... For some other less talented teams this opens up a pool for prospects....

Probably why we only focus on Vanilla in pre-season also.... No need to turn a pool of players loose that know our complete playbook.

Joe Schmoes.

Won't get interesting until the final 53.

That would be surprising, it's probably a good business move, but cold as hell...

Your mama's so fat she wore a Malcolm-X jacket and helicopters tried to land on her.


Oh, sorry, wrong type of cut down?

New Orleans Saints Reach 75 Player Roster Limit

No real surprises so far, Remi looked over weight and Hicks will fill in just fine

Not if it is followed by a LB ast coaching offer. Spags did say that Vilma would be a perfect fit for his defense...

Wrong kind, but let's roll with it.

That's a good plan. Maybe Vilma's knees will be good when his suspension is over.

Yo moma is so ugly, she went into a haunted house with tickets and came out with a job.

Vested veterans DT Remi Ayodele (6 years; Oklahoma) and
QB Luke McCown (9; Louisiana Tech) had their contacts terminated, while the team announced the following players were waived:
LB Aaron Tevis (Rookie; Boise State),
C Brian Folkerts (Rookie; Washburn),
TE Jake Byrne (Rookie; Wisconsin),
S Johnny Thomas (Rookie; Oklahoma State),
WR Derek Moye (Rookie; Penn State),
G Paul Fenaroli (1st Year; Stony Brook),
T Hutch Eckerson (1st Year; South Carolina),
DE Donavan Robinson (Rookie; Jackson State),
WR Kevin Hardy (Rookie; The Citadel),
CB Kamaal McIlwain (1st Year; Newberry),
DT Swanson Miller (1st Year; Oklahoma State),
CB Cord Parks (1st Year; Northeastern) and
WR Marques Clark (Rookie; Henderson State).
Remi may have been a cost saver. If he makes the 53 his salary is guaranteed. If we sign him week 2, he goes game to game.

Well Marques Clark, it was a good story.

QBREES9 08-27-2012 11:59 AM

Re: Cut down day.
 
Yeah I was thinking the same thing Papz. Drews boy was cut WR Marques Clark (Rookie; Henderson State).

Yeah, he really did look heavier than he was in 2009 and he didn't really do anything special even though he was hardly double teamed.

They'll probably try to slip Swanson Miller into the PS, and maybe keep Walker in as one of the 5 DTs, if they keep 5 DTs that is.

But I guess it could be like Danno said that the FO is looking at Remi from the financial perspective alone, and plan on trying to bring him in when his salary doesn't have to be guaranteed - he just didn't impress me at all.

Gasp! He is just gravity challenged... We cant cut people for disabilities.

Ayodele’s cut says more about what the Saints think of rookie Akiem Hicks than it does the veteran.

That's a good point. Hicks looks better than people thought he would. Well, at least the draft sports writers.

I've been waiting to see the list I it was suppose to be out by 4:00 pm.

3. The Ravens also cut Cam Newton's brother, center Cecil Newton.

4. Former first-round pick wide receiver Bryant Johnson has probably reached the end of the line. He was cut by the Texans.

5. The Seahawks released two offensive line names you should recognize: Alex Barron and Deuce Lutui.

6. "Hard Knocks" favorite Les Brown is going to get a visit from "The Turk" in Tuesday night's show. We will miss him; his journey to the Dolphins was a great story.

7. Jabar Gaffney and Donte' Stallworth did not survive the battle royale at wide receiver in New England. Gaffney is a big surprise considering his history with the Patriots and production in Washington last year.

8. A few more kicker battles were decided. Josh Brown was cut by the Jets (in favor of Nick Folk) and Neil Rackers was cut by the Redskins (in favor of Graham Gano.)

9. The Saints cut Super Bowl starting defensive tackle Remi Ayodele and reserve quarterback Luke McCown.

10. The Chargers released wide receiver Roscoe Parish. It's not a great sign he couldn't come close to making a team that could use some depth at the position.

11. The Rams finally gave up on promising but injury-prone wide receiver Danario Alexander.

12. I'm going to miss being the last man on the Vince Young bandwagon. It's been real.

Not happening, he's your best healthy LB right now and he looked good Saturday night.

True, I think you're right about that, and he did look pretty good for a change against the Texans.

I've already made peace with the fact that he'll be yet again one of the main LBs with a lot of snaps, but I only hope and pray that the Saints don't announce a contract extension involving Shanle - just let him play out his last season!
