I don't see Lorig making this team, despite shallow depth at Tight End...

foreverfan

I don't understand playing the position half way.

lee909

Wouldn't save much cutting him. In fact it would save more cutting Johnson.

jeanpierre

From my vantage, it was straight up effectiveness, getting on the field, making positive plays, more than cost-cutting...

Rugby Saint II

Yeah, after reading up on our UDFA Guards I feel better. Not much though......we need to keep Drew upright.

Saints defensive outlook: Edge defenders, cornerback could receive facelift | NOLA.com

So Holder has Markus Pierce-Brewster (URFA) and Stephon Sanders (URFA) coming in as Inside Linebackers...

Wish guys could pick one last name and roll with it; yet another reason I'd never have made it as an equipment manager...

saintsfan1976

In that case you would cut Jarius Byrd.

I think Lorig is a better long term answer than Johnson.

Versatility wins.

jeanpierre

Not a big fan of the Byrd signing, hoping he finally leaves the injury bug and plays a full season...

If you want versatility, Johnson looks like the better runner and he played linebacker at Tennessee, so there's that to consider...
