My spider senses tell me Boston will clear. If a team wanted him, they would have snatched him by now. No sense in waiting this long.
I hope you are right about the reason for Williams over Scott. Maybe they saw things in camp regarding past protection since we didn't see much of either one protecting on pass plays. Williams was pretty much running the ball every play he was in the game. Scott provides so many more dimensions than Williams, Gillislee, and Washington.

So much for not wearing Kamara out...if he is only going to get 15 touches total then we are going to be very pass heavy. Gillislee doesn't know enough of the playbook to truly contribute beside some inside runs.

There is a very good chance the Saints will add a veteran after week 1 is over. They will probably do this so they are not on the hook for an entire years worth of salary.

AD didn't know the playbook either when he was traded mid season but did well on a short notice.

Other positions it's more of a problem but a RB can pull it off most of the time. He also won't be out there much.

I agree 100%.
Also Scott looked decent but up until Sunday Williams was considered a lock to make the roster by pretty much every report I read. Williams was the clear front runner. Williams effort on that last run hurt him. Hopefully a wake up call.

People also have to realize that not every roster move is a linear move towards the future. A lot if not most are made as a result of something that has taken place or an adjustment for the upcoming opponent. If Payton thought Scott had a real future here then I’m sure he would have made it work.

Gotta believe Jonathan Williams will be added to the 53 by game day.

Don't worry. No doubt that Payton knows what he is doing.

Well, Edmunds just went to the Steelers so that's 1 team not taking Scott from us.

Steelers are way down on the waiver order. SF, Skins could be in the market. Probably go with Skins with Chris Thompson not healthy but looks like he's playing. I think he falls back to us if we want him. Rookie RB is not a good waiver wire grab. Better to go with DL and OL. Market is saturated with RB's.

Promote Williams to the 53 man roster, place Scott on the PS & cut player "______".
