And for the Saints spending money borrowed from the future finally caught up with them. They are $50+ million over. There is going to be a lot of pain dished out in the next week.

SFIAH
There is pain being dished out all across the league. All of these veteran getting cut are not going to find themselves in any kind of bargaining position for a new job. They'll need to just tread water until the cap explodes in a couple of years. I heard yesterday that with all of the new broadcast rights contracts (now including Amazon Prime) that the cap could be as high as $350 million in just three or four years. That makes sense since the projections are that the contracts could easily double the previous totals.

Hopefully we see him again, even in another jersey he is still a class act and always exhibited exceptional character.

Maybe he goes t Atlanta and we can see him on their 3and outs :)

Great punter and great guy. He always had time to talk when I saw him. He played rugby so you know how I feel about him. He was the best tackler on the team. I'm glad I have several autographs. Don't be surprised to see him still punting in the league next year. Gillikan has some big shoes to fill! I hope he's up to the task.

I love Morestead but have to ask... What is a "Superbowl punter"?

A punter who was on a team that won the SB?

How time flies... had not realized he was on the team for 12 years. He's got a few years left in him. It's too bad we live in an era where his is the result of a cap casualty. Or was it? The Saints seemed to have planned this since last year in preparing with the young Mullet Adorned Kid from Penn State.

Fair enough but that might be the least notable thing about Morestead. For over a decade I cant remember one single Saints fan *****ing about his performance... ever... not a single kick... That's rather frikken remarkable for a Saints player lol. He is pretty much the definition of automatic.

He stopped performing kickoffs in 2015 so his contract should have seen a decline due to reduced role but it didnt.

Morestead could do amazing things with the ball punting for hang time and directional punting as well as Kick off and pooch kicks. If we needed him to kick off again he could have. That's why he got paid. He was a blessing.
