Edit: And he's back!

Roby is 31 and not a starter. Team may feel his better producing years are behind him. His trade value may not be much.

We saved at least $3.5M by releasing him. $5.5M if you count reachable incentives. There is that.

And trade value was obviously zero since no one actually went for it.

LD Bell (Dennis Allen) still has a ton to prove as Head Coach however when it comes to his defensive secondary moves … I 100% trust his judgment and evaluation process on players.

But again, I'm just a couch GM/HC and scout

Not to mention you can't trade a player unless you actually have a team honestly willing to trade for that player. If a team was willing to fork over a 2025 conditional 7th the Saints would have jumped on it.

Looks like we'll being seing The Throck in Week 2. Carolina just picked him up off waivers.

I hope we get to see him. If so that means Carolina is screwed with their offensive depth.

The TE room is pretty well stacked.

I’m just a couch GM/HC and scout but I never understood the fascination with Krull.

Bad footwork, can’t catch & spotty route running.
He better work with the jugs machine up in Denver.

Payton won’t tolerate all of the drops.

We don’t know what we don’t know. I heard on NOF that Roby had only 1 BPU the entire Camp/Preseason …

Like I have always said, we as fans have no clue what goes on inside locker rooms, meeting rooms, and in practices. And most of what we see on the field we is without understanding of what was supposed to happen and who was supposed to do what.

In other words, we don't know crap. LOL!
