There are going to be many more terminated contracts not only here but across the league. Anyone that doesn't create lots of dead money, no matter how important, can be released to meet the COVID related 2021 cap.

Cook was worth the signing in 2019. 2020 was just an atrocious year for him. Looks like he's hit the cliff.

Cook is a noodle arm.

Josh was a solid TE, great blocker and though he wasn't used much as a receiver I honestly don't remember him dropping a good pass when his number was called. Thanks for your service and hope we can replace the talent.

Josh Hill will be back. I don’t know if people understand just how important he is to our offense.

My thinking too.

I do wonder about Rudolph... If he can be signed on a budget.

I think he still has gas in the tank and he can still block and catch on a high level.

Also, the Vikes' castaways have been pretty good for the Saints in the past.

Probably comes down to money and Trautman along with maybe Hill on a new contract and a rookie might be all that the Saints need at TE.

For the little bit they were paying him, Josh Hill shouldn't have had his contract voided, he's been that important to this team on offense...

Jared Cook was a bad signing and was completely overwhelmed from the day he got off the bus here - that money could've been put to better use...

Like Tre'Quan, he only made big plays because teams fell asleep on him because they didn't respect him...

Yes.

The one thing I do like about Rudolph is football security after the catch.

He's still a contributor & I'd love him in this offense.

Whether it's the draft or some other means, I'd like to see us get a speedy TE that can block a little and get good separation on drag routes like Jonnu Smith (Titans).

Agreed.

Re: Saints Terminate Josh Hill and Jared Cook
 
Trautman will be the man! He looks the part and is smooth and flexible and is a Hell of a blocker. Do we take another tight end in the 3rd round again? I could see that being an earlier pick but we will have to draft to fill the departing players. Gotta' go O-line in the first or a speedy LB'er. Unless we need to replace a safety or a corner that we lose in the offseason.
