Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

I would've liked to see him get a more decent look, but like many Vets on this team, I guess it's time to be moving on....

Looks like that stunt at the end of the ATL game was the nail in the coffin. Apparently, DA don't play that. Good luck in CLE and eat a W!

Well good for him. I hope he does well there.

Good luck JW in Cleveland!

Does Kubiak bring his own guy (Jimmy G) or maybe they are confident on Haener being that #2?

Re: Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

Unless I’m mistaken, imagine that as my wife often says, Jimmy G has never played with Klint.

Re: Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

Good for him.

Re: Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

Are we getting a compensatory pick as a result ?

Re: Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

No. He doesn't qualify as an end of contract free agent. Same with Thomas if he signs elsewhere. Even if he was he'd only go into the compensatory formula which balances additions against subtractions and factors in the terms of the player's new contracts.

Invest in Under Armor. It's freakin' cold as hell up there. Stay warm and try not to get shot.

Re: Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

The other end of contract FAs that sign/signed elsewhere, like Hendrickson, we didn't get a compensatory pick? :confused:

Re: Saints turning the Page on Winston
 

He would have counted toward the overall formula. You don't get compensatory picks based upon the free agent lost itself. The picks are based upon a combination of end of contract free agents lost, free agents added, their individual new contracts, and playing time. That's why we never know the exact picks being awarded until well after the season has ended.

Look at it as a qualified accounting balance sheet with debits and credits but weighted by contracts given and playing time.
