Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Rankins can start practicing week 6, but can't play until week 8.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Good move on Rankins, but there is one small thing inaccurate. He hasn't been designated to return. That is a new change this year. You can now name any single player placed on IR as designated to return at any time following six weeks after the original designation. You no longer have to designate upon placing the player on IR. Don't forget about Kikaha. He'll be eligible to return before Rankins if he is ready or at any time if he is MORE ready than Rankins.

NFL passes Bills' proposed change to injured-reserve rules - Mar 23, 2016

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- NFL owners passed a change to the league's bylaws Wednesday, proposed by the Buffalo Bills, that will give teams more flexibility in deciding which player they designate to return from injured reserve.

The new bylaw will allow teams to choose one player to return to practice among their players already on injured reserve, provided that player has spent at least six weeks on injured reserve. That player would then be able to return to the active roster and play in a game two weeks later.

I kind of like Tapp, played hard. Cadet has never impressed me in the least. Glad Rankins will be back.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

we need to get someone in to replace Rankins.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Nick Fairley & Davison have looked very good and now with the recent addition of Kruger, I think we are in good hands on the D line.

I'm glad the Saints are being cautious with Rankins. No need to rush him back into the lineup.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Yeah agree with that
The next 4 years are more important than rushing him back

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

I've been waiting for all this to start.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

BARF on everything but Rankins. Just on roster so we have someone to cut when something better comes along. I mean..7 rb's (counting fb)..unreal.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

I like Cadet.
Does anyone know why we cut Khiry Robinson?

Wil Lutz K Georgia State ?

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

The same reason the Jets just cut him. He can't stay healthy.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Cadet likely to improve ST or an injury we don't know about.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Six RB's on a team that doesn't run the ball. LOL. I like Cadet and Lasco. Cadet is great in the passing game. Maybe the best hands on the team. But, he's not going to see the field behind Ingram, Spiller, Hightower, and with Murphy handling the return duties. Lasco has skills and potential. But, he would have cleared waivers and made the PS.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Cadet can play special teams and slot reciever

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

He hasn't recovered from last year. Looks like he goes to IR after clearing waivers

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

We have 6 RB's and 7 O-linemen.
No way we go into Sunday that way.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

He re injured (Philly pre season) the same leg he broke while with the Saints.

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

Doesn't everybody keep six running backs?

Re: Saints re-sign Cadet & Tapp, Rankins to IR (designated to return)
 

We have quite a few however I expect that to change.

Well 3 of them are mainly special teams players, so don't let their designated position fool you.
