Excellent PR move and more importantly, just a humane thing to do whether or not he makes it back to a football field. The world is not completely ******.

I think it's more than just PR, papz. Moreau said that he'd been told his prognosis is good and he could be back as early as October. It would be a good move to have him locked up on NFI in case he's needed (ie. Krull or the rookies don't pan out or we don't get another vet). He wouldn't count against the 90 man roster.

So the Saints TEs consist of a converted QB who has his fair share of injuries. A converted WR. An offer to a player battling cancer and a couple UDFAs who haven’t caught any NFL passes. In the draft we ignore the position to get a guy who might be our third string QB, and an O linemen and DE that will provide depth but aren’t planning to start this year. Sorry if this has me scratching my head a little.

I have faith you'll figure it out eventually. ;)

By the way, you do realize that the Saints use a DL rotation, right? Foskey's going going to get plenty of playing time. And I'd be shocked if Saldiveri doesn't see the field quite a bit himself.

And also by the way, what TE did you think we should have drafted and when to make our draft not so abysmal in your mind? :D

So patronizing...always the smartest guy in the room

Meanwhile the rest of us are :dunce:

I really think this was inevitable as soon as they did the initial physical that identified the lymphoma. That's usually the final step after coming to contract terms. They wanted him and he wanted to be in Nola.

Four open spots remain now on the 90 man roster.

Re: Foster Moreau Discovers Serious Condition in Saints Physical
 

Now we know why the Saints didn't feel the "need" to draft a TE early.

Re: Foster Moreau Discovers Serious Condition in Saints Physical
 

It appears that with the treatment plan being in the term of weeks, rather than months, as Kat Terrell reported, there's a good chance that Moreau will be ready to go either by the beginning of the season or early in the season at worst.

Once again, the front office knew what they were doing.

Edit: It appears that Moreau will be ready to go right away! Awesome news all the way around!

Re: Foster Moreau Discovers Serious Condition in Saints Physical
 

$8 million "fully" guaranteed is the key here. No way you fully guarantee 2/3rds of the contract if you have any doubt he'll play. We should still have at least $12-$13 million left after this deal in 2023 cap space to make more additions.
