Plays like a professional football player. Wish him well.

Dang, Saints really missed him in the Divisional playoff game. Runs hard, will miss him.

Also pretty excited to see what Tony Jones Jr can do in the #2 role. I know it's just preseason, but he's looked great so far.

Sometimes it’s better to cut a player one year early than later. Tony Jones Jr did look more explosive at camp and in pre season games. It’s a business.

I appreciate the efforts by LTrain though. He was a very good back for New Orleans … even in a limited role.

Yikes, it's a business. Hope it works out for us and Murray both over time. I am a little nervous about losing our power back, but maybe our running game is changing to more of a zone, one-cut style, to fit Kamara and Jones Jr.

Read that him refusing a pay cut had something to do with his being let go.
