nothing. things are slowing down on the wire finally and we still need to drop a few players. at least the last cuts seem to be hard to make. Could they be working the phones on trades or see what new FA might want to come here before they make their moves?

that would be my guess. Looking at the linebackers and cornerbacks..I'm less than enthused-in fact we may be worse.

LB's, CB's , QB's, O-lineman, D-lineman, and maybe WR's

how bout a bit of props for me being right? I hit you guys up with the first cut list and the guys targeted for the practice squad.

Good job!

Any news on players the Saints are targeting from the cuts or anything about any trades (i.e. Edwards)?

:itsgood:

Branch & Hass? I don't like those cuts. Surely Branch has proved to be a better backup RB than Stecker this pre-season. As for Hass......he's looked better to me than Lance Moore at least. Hopefully, we sign them to the practice squad.

The plan is to get Branch, Hass, Lyman, Kuale, Villareal, and McPherson onto the practice squad...the FO has next to no doubt that all the guys will clear waivers.

I'm officially confused by the cuts and keeps of this administration. Branch and Lay and Hass did admirably. Stecker? Bouman?? And what's more disturbing is that there are two key guys already out for the year in positions where the team can least afford them. Where are the O-line and LB signings? Did Payton officially give up for this year? Are they trying to make attendance dwindle out by the end of the season?
