I agree with this feeling Oak. The position needs some kind of continuity. If Thomas was playing as injured as reported and is not ready for camp, then Sanders is the only proven WR on the team. He may be able to be restructured though.

Therein lies the issue. In a restructure he'd want to be owed the base salaries for 2021 and 2022 (a void year as it stands now). That's $14 million. Releasing or trading him eliminates the base salary. They can then negotiate a whole new deal at a reduced base salary, but so can anyone else.

Saints agreed to terms with Washington. Wonder if this means anything in regards to Murray.

For me it's more to do with special teams.

I still believe Latavius gets cut though :(.

I do too Major. Look for a Marlon Mack type to be signed later on for about 1.5 million.

If you ain't gonna use him, let him go......best, mismanaged talent on the team. Maybe Payton had a valid reason for not utilizing him more, yeah he got banged up, but having said that, he was rarely, if ever used with any regularity when he was healthy.

I agree bob, and I see similarities with Ingram and the way he was used to be honest. For the first two seasons in the league, it seemed every Ingram run was telegraphed. Even in host best years it seems he had more to offer. Murray too. I guess that’s the problem with two back systems. Hard to limit a Kamara/Bush/Sproles/ in favor of a Ivory/Ingram/Murray.

Well, that's it! We need a bruiser to match up with Kamara now that we let ours go.

Murray could be back. That is the new dynamic this off-season. Teams are cutting every player that will free immediate cap with minimal or no dead cap. They are then free to re-sign those very same players at a greatly reduced rate. Few teams, if any, will be offering any more that greatly reduced rates themselves. Do not count out any cut player as not being on the Saints roster for 2021.

Unless I’ve missed something he’s still thankfully on the team, right? Hope he is retained, but if not his release could gain another couple million for the cap.

L Train is still on the team :bng:.

Added bonus is that we recently added FB Alex Armah to block for him. A legit 245 pound bowling ball.

How about a backfield of Armah, Murray, And Kamara with Hill taking the snap.

I thought we let him go. I'm not usually glad when I'm wrong but I'm really really glad that Murray is still here. He's a perfect compliment banger back to Kamara.
