Lutz is only 22; that's the only thing I can see from this signing... Oh he is more versatile, he can punt and averaged 44.3 yards.

So does this mean we are releasing our current kicker? No way we are going into the season with 2. I also think Cortland did a good job in preseason. Was happy with him being our #5 CB

WTF?

are we moving Forbath to CB?? or LT??

Wonder whats going on

Forbath injured or do they just like this guy better?

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
He was the punter and kicker in college. Avg just over 42 yards on punts. Wonder if they fancy him taking both roles long term.

Hopefully he is a good long term option. It would be nice to have that question mark sorted

Finnegan will be back after week 1 I'll bet.

If he plays week 1, his entire contract is guaranteed.

If we wait until week 2, his contract is week to week.

It's just business as usual.

Why not cut Forbath if you are going to keep Lutz?

Danno 09-06-2016 03:26 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
I'll bet the Saints think Finnegan is the least likely player to be picked up, especially since his contract would be guaranteed by whomever picks him up.

He'll be back week 2 (I hope).

K Major 09-06-2016 03:27 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
I sure hope Finnegan is coming back sooner rather than later.

He was very good on special teams in pre season.

lee909 09-06-2016 03:28 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
I wonder if they had someone wanting to sign him off the practice squad?.

Maybe they resign Finnegan after week 1

CheramieIII 09-06-2016 03:36 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
Don't understand unless they get rid of our punter and have Lutz handle kicker and punter duties.

AsylumGuido 09-06-2016 03:37 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
Could he be part of a trade deal?

ChrisXVI 09-06-2016 03:43 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
Well I'm stumped. I can understand cutting Finnegan and bringing him back after week 1 like Danno suggested... But some of these other moves are beyond me.

ChrisXVI 09-06-2016 03:47 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 

So there we have it... Lutz is now our kicker. What the heck.

|Mitch| 09-06-2016 03:54 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 

Maybe they were worried about him getting snagged from our own practice squad. But that still doesn't explain the Finnegan cut, unless there is something else in store... Like a trade or something

Don't get too comfortable if you are a kicker ...

This kicker stuff is just nutz and its getting past annoying.

This falls under WTF.

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
The only kicker who has not had a Saints tryout in the SP era is Ray Finkle.

Our new kicker's *ahem* impressive stats in college: 12 for 19 last year, 31 for 46 career. A whopping 67% completions.

Lutz sir, the name is Lutz

ChrisXVI 09-06-2016 05:25 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 

So I guess we're not gonna resign Finnegan?

SaintsBro 09-06-2016 05:35 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
I've always felt like Payton kinda compulsively tinkers with the kicker position, whenever there is something else bothering him, that he can't easily fix. Part of his OCD.

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
Just spoke to a friend who is a big Ravens fan who said he missed one in preaseon but reports where he was sailing them through in camp from 50 yards but was obviously never beating out Tucker

Sounds like we know what we are doing when it comes to kickers.... oh wait...

Danno 09-06-2016 05:46 PM

Re: Finnegan out; Lutz in!
 
Moore is likely a 1 week insurance policy, Finnegan will be back week 2 and this guy will be gone
