so who is going to be the punter? I see weatherford on that list...something has to be wrong.

Wait, Mayberry and Polley???? More hits to the O-line and LBs.

Polley and Mayberry are still with us

They're on injured/reserve

And if we did cut Polley we're stupid, should've kept Kuale, too

I don't get some of these cuts-I mean, whose left at LB? also, didn't Davis (texas) go down with injuries-branch would have been decent trade bait for a pick. NOt sure I get this.

The New Orleans Saints announced they have waived ......

CB Grant Mason.
TE Zach Hilton.
DE Javon Nanton.
DT Joe Minucci.
OC Dwayne Ledford terminated the contract
DT Josh Williams.
TE Billy Miller.
LB Jay Foreman.
QB Adrian McPherson (knee).waived/injured
DE Jimmy Verdon (?)waived/injured

PUP/ IR

OG Jermane Mayberry (shoulder) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2006 season.
LB Tommy Polley (shoulder) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2006 season.
WR Michael Lewis (knee) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Branch, Lay, Hass, and Kuale are likely to hit the PS

Hope we claim Jacobs, H.Smith, Wynn, King and/or Byum

How in the hell did Gleason make it???
Bethel over Hass???


Good we kept Polley

Release Craft and co. (Craft, Phillips, and Gleason)

Get that new company in Smith, Wynn, Byum and King

And why did we keep all those damn safties???

I will post them as they come across the wire. this is all so far a few to go,

how did bouman make it?

Bouman will get cut for Jacobs

Keep ur fingers crossed

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

well that does it. wwl was right.
http://www.kffl.com/hotw/NFL?

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?

what signings are you looking for? The team just made 2 trades in the last 10 days to acquire LB's...what else do they need to do? they played the entire preseason without Mayberry...he would have been cut anyway. I think Payton has proven that he is not going to sit on any weaknesses...he is going to try and go out and get someone that can improve the team.

What specifically has you confused? Just because certain players performed well with the second and third teams doesn't get them on the squad. I think everyone here was rooting for Hass to make the squad. I'm' sure Payton is planning to bring a lot of these guys back for the practice squad. You guys may not like Bouman, but obviously he has a better grasp on things than McPherson does, which unfortunately isn't saying much.

Why don't we let our team play a regular season game before all of "the sky is falling" talk starts. There will almost certainly be wheelings and dealings before the week 6 trade deadline.

He doesn't have a better grasp than faster, accurate, poised Omar Jacobs :airguitar:

I hope they get Lay to the PS, he really played better than Phillips and Craft in my opinion

Ghandi, why get rid of better Moore than not git rid of non-catching, fumbling Bethel....In my opinion, keep Moore and give Bethel the boot :banana: :broccoli:

You got me, bro. I guess Bethel being a vet helped his cause. I definately don't like the Stecker over Branch thing, though. Branch seems to have more speed & better vision than Stecker. Again.....it looks like one of those vet over rookie things. I look for alot of signings here in the next week on both sides of the ball. Their are some CB's, DT's, & OL that were cut from other teams that would be upgrades on our roster. This coaching staff seems to have some intelligence, so I definately think moves will be made soon.
