Re: Could Sproles contract be next in line to be terminated?
 

Goodbye Darren! Thanks for all the great things you did for this team!

Struggling to get used to what feels like a mass exodus of our favourite players, although its not really I guess. Already a few familiar names that won't be on the sidelines next season. Just hope the Coaches and Front office know what they are doing!

I'm guessing thats their job and they have made some good decisions in the past.

Still a little surprised that DS is going though. :(

GEAUX SAINTS.

Why would we cut Bunk and Hawthorne?
Both of them save just over $1ml in cap space each but we would be paying them over $4ml each in dead money.

Who you going to get to replace them for under $2ml when you already need a new starting C,RT and need depth on the O-line,RB,CB,WR

He was definitely fast aswell. Few backs in the NFL had his explosion. But he lost a step last year, and it showed. I am only shocked that we couldn't trade him. Still not far removed from being an extremely productive player, and I thought for sure we could get a mid round pick for him. Releasing him seems like a waste, but what can you do? We have guys who think they deserve more than they're worth, and with limited options you have to bite the bullet.

The writing on the wall tells me were going with a power run game, I love it.

Re: Could Sproles contract be next in line to be terminated?
 

A power run game with no C or good level starting RT as things stand is a worry.

Re: Could Sproles contract be next in line to be terminated?
 

till Drew restructure this is what happens to a team that pays so much to just one player. cuts have to made. so far they hurt but we can survive. the next ones will be harder to take i think

lesson learned?

DO NOT OVERPAY JIMMY

Re: Could Sproles contract be next in line to be terminated?
 

Of all the players listed i fear PT getting cut the most

others are contract issues making it harder to justify money wise. but impact on the team? PT cut will hurt the most

We need draft choices!

Re: Could Sproles contract be next in line to be terminated?
 

Take a deep breath everyone. Yes some of these are shocking but they were predicted months ago.

When something surprising happens like this you should take a long hard look at the source.

As far as I know we ALL have plenty of faith in Loomis and Payton. No?

We have all complained about our predictability. No?

Those two have worked this team over before haven't they?

Payton and Loomis love to find and use niche players. Well changing the play book and the predictability requires different players.

Way to take it to a personal level... classy move! http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...ers/no-218.gif

Back to the subject at hand... I don't see any reason to outright cut Bunkley nor Hawthorne. Both played well last season and cutting them wouldn't improve the cap situation versus the strength of the roster one bit.
