Looks as Though McPherson Was Never in Paytons Plan.........

MCPHERSON RELEASED: In another roster move that went unannounced last month, the Saints released quarterback Adrian McPherson. The former fifth-round draft pick had been on injured reserve because of a knee injury he suffered in a freak accident during halftime of the team's preseason opener at Tennessee.

McPherson was struck by a golf cart driven by the Titans' mascot. Because of the injury, the second-year project never had a chance to play in the preseason. But he was a long shot to crack the roster anyway.

"It wasn't injury-related. We were just going in a different direction," Payton said. "From a quarterback standpoint, we felt like there were certain things we were looking for. He was a hard worker, a guy that I think worked at it. The evaluation took place over a long period of time, and we felt like we were better off going in a different direction."
