offical cuts for NO

Bobaganoosh · 09-02-2006, 11:54 AM

i dont think money had anything to do with Bockwoldt being cut. They cut him because of the fact that isnt any good. He will not get picked up by any other team, especially to play LB, and thats about it. As for Hilton, i seem to remember having a debate about how all of you were hyping him up for nothing...and i remember someone getting in trouble for saying Hilton was going to be just like Boo Williams. Doesnt seem so silly now does it?

Amac cut...that SUCKS

I really don't understand cutting a young McPherson and keeping an old Bouman as 3rd string.

Hi, stopped lurking and finally registered, Saints fan since I was 13 (don't ask how old I am now!).
It actually makes perfect sense, given the uncertainty of Brees recovery and the fact that AMAC was not the QB of the future in Payton's eyes. I believe Payton will draft a "project" of HIS choosing next year, not the leftover from a coach who had no clue about QB talent. I could be wrong....

I trust Payton's judgement. He's been cutting or trading the guys that Haz had people thinking were worthy of being NFL starters. Watson, Boo Williams, Brooks, Sullivan, and the jury of course is still out out on Stallworth. But it looks like he's made sound decisions across the board. I'm almost certain Bockwoldt's career is over, unless Haz picks him up in St. Louis.

Very surprised to see Colby's name on there. Seemed like a character guy with a good motor and a very good special teamer. Oh well, it's not a huge loss.

I was rootin' for ya Colby... sorry to see ya go. I hope he lands with someone soon... hard worker right there. Amazing how Hilton had a good year last season and now he's trash. I don't think he had a fair shot but oh well.

I don't think Hilton is "trash"! He is not the ideal blocker nor is he as good as Lawrie! I wish Zach all the best in his next adventure.

Agreed Biloxi-indian....

Lawrie has been the 2nd best TE all Camp, hes the best blocker on the team with pure hands...Only problem is his quickness off the line and his timing
