Benson OK with cutting Sullivan
 

Kenny and Bobby just reported that they heard Benson has told the front office that if they think Sullivan is a problem, he's OK with them releasing him.

Sullivan is a goner! I think they cut him this year.

WWL radio, no link.

as am i................here you have a guy who thought just because he had a good college career, somebody owed him something.
well, he was right to an extent...............he got the money and has done absolutely nothing to earn it other than the fact he thought it was owed to him............these kind of guys need to be made an example of.......
show his azz the road as they should of a year ago..............
every team gets em, but come on.........take your loses and move on...
if this guy had any heart, i would never even comment on this, but here is a guy continuing to get the money and not doing his job..........
take the loss and move on, there are guys out there who would play for next to nothing to get the shot he got.......smitty
ps-------------devery should not be too far behind if he can't cut it either.
i'm tired of this as a fan and i know it takes time to develope, but if the effort is not there, the money should not be either............

Buh-Bye sully!

To all of those who think Benson is a tight-wad this move, Hell this entire off-season disproves that.

Well I don'tmind cutting sully -- but if he really came to camp at 320 I would at least wait until the end of preseason -- maybe he is ready to play

Maybe it will snow today in New Orleans. :D

Or, if you didn't like that last one, I have this...

They would have to take a cap hit if they cut him, but just think of how much money in food expenses they might save if they cut him now. It might be enough to offset the cap hit. 8)

I would also give Sully the entire preseason. If he has turned the corner, he will be a good talent to have in the DT rotation. If he proves to be, well the Old Sully, cut him on the final roster cut. This would reduce his chances of catching on with another team. Kind of a payback, and a thank you for nothing...

As for Devery, if he still does not progress, I would not be surprised to see the Saints put him on IR. You know, a "hamstring" injury...

I would give Henderson the rest of this season. Let's face it, he not progressing as quickly as he should, but I'm not ready to lable the guy a "bust".

As for Sully.....Well, he is already a bust. If they cut him now, great. I think they should give him his options (if they haven't already). Tell him that he is going to be cut if he dosen't start contributing. Tell him he is gone on the final cuts if he dosen't show the heart to play.

the main reason he good a good college career because of the scheme he played in and the fact that they rotated 8 or 9 lineman in and out the game, but i guess our FO didn't notice that either!!!!

CUT HIM WOULDN'T HURT MY FEELINGS

Guys, here is a novel idea..........LET'S ACTUALLY LET HIM PLAY FIRST BEFORE WE START CUTTING ANYBODY

last night at the B&G scrimmage..i was watchin sully close and after every play ..he looked as though he would fall down at any minute..during the plays..he wasnt really doing much either..i say cut em and quit wasting our time

The team has been trying to "let him play" for 3 years now. Time to cut our losses.

Damn, beat me to it. 8)

Dude, do you even believe the stuff you say? Seriously? In the future, type out what you say, read it, make sure you understand it, then delete it and type the opposite, cause typing the first thing you think ain't working out. :idea:

Am I the only one, or does BonB's avatar look like a turd at first glance?

It would match the content of the posts LB. :wink:

I would't go to the machine gun just yet I think they give him one more year to prove himself and this is his season to prove himself. Brooks and the food eating contest champ gone after this season. I think he will quote little bow wow when he said his favorite thing about playing in the pros was room service!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao.

If Sullivan can't prove in Preseason that he will be a contributor this season, he should be cut (let the man play first guys, c'mon). There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that I have seen in Jonathan Sullivan that leads me to believe that he actually can be this stud DT that the Saints sold him as. At best, he's a situational DT who can play in a rotation. Maybe I'm wrong, but he's yet to even prove he can make a rotation. Cut him and spend next season looking for another option if Green, Young, Jefferson, Leisle, Whitehead, et. al. aren't enough.

On another note:

Uh - all owners have the same amount of money to spend. If you want to know whether Tom Benson is a tight-a$$ or not, you cannot look at his football operations spending (or lack of it). Look at what comes in and goes out on the business operations side. I think you'll get an entirely different view of things.
