Danny Clark
Charelston (Not Resigned)
Heath Evans (Not Resigned)

Well, there you have it. Feel free to make your own!

With Smith suspended and Ivory probably hitting the PUP, that opens 2 spots. McDaniel(just b/c someone will probably scoop him up quick... won't make it to our P/S) and Romeus to fill in. I'm okay with carrying 3 backs to start the season.

Til just now, I had no idea who Drescher was.

Looks good... and welcome to the site.

Looks about right maybe a couple changes. I just don't see the Saints keeping Alex Brown we can save that money and use it for another player.

i thought we might bring in a veteran qb for camp anyway then release him for the season kind of what we did last year. just in case something developes and we have to bring him back later. canfield? i don't kwow. all in all ur roster not far off. welcome back saintkane quit lurking and get after it dude.

What about the UDF WR Fayson? He's apparently been one of the standouts during the first days of camp. He might even have the skill set to make AA expendable. Although I can't testify to any of this personally... just hearsay.

Great thread very impressive.I would be happy with that roster though I would like to have Evans back.What happen to Eckel?

As much as I'd love to re-sign Heath, I just don't see it in the cards. Heath can do everything, but he's older and has a higher price tag. I think we want more of a pure blocker to clear out space for our new power running game.

No idea what ever happened to Eckel, pretty sure he cut before last season.

evans lost a step or 2 after the his knee surgery. he just don't mve like he used to when we first aquired him. just don't know whats up paytons sleeve with fullback.

Anybody been keepin' an eye on Dwight Roberson (LB)?
'Seems like a pretty good kid, willin' to work, and his numbers
were decent at Oregon State.

what is the word on Smith's suspension?
