It is a 90 man roster after all
Without the incoming rookie class he was 7th or 8th on the depth chart. Can't see him making the first cut anyway. We need these spots for positions being contested.

Then you look at Rankins and you recognize he is still so young so he might turn it aorund, but he certainly isn't being kept for production. Finally, you look at the availability of someone like the Sudafed Head and it boggles the mind

Turn it around? I must be missing something here.

Of the six defensive players selected ahead of Rankins, only Bosa and Ramsey were more productive in 2017. Not to mention 2017 was Sheldon's first full season of NFL football.

Re: Saints Release Linebacker, Local Fan Favorite Michael Mauti

Again was critical of the signing as I thought the Saints were signing him to sell tickets because of his name and being a local fan favorite...

Then he had an incredible impact, not only on special teams, but graded damn-near elite when subbing at the strong-side linebacker spot...

But I taking the tea leaves reading this way - Jumper and/or Freeman must've really impressed, or confirmed their scouting at rookie mini-camp...

The other more ominous thing could be a return of his health issues and an inability to keep the weight - wish him all the best...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
