Some team will grab him up in a hurry I bet

Hamilton will be a great RB for a team, but I wish it would have been for the Saints.

With Thomas, Ivory, Sproles and Ingram, it was foregone conclusion he wouldn't make the final roster.

At least he didn't tweet like Bush did when the Saints signed Sproles!

I just hope an AFC team picks him up!!

I miss Aaron Stecker. Did you know we brought him in for a workout last year?

He was pretty much just a camp body at this point

He'll get on some team I'm pretty sure. I guess its a good thing for us when we can afford to release such talent.

I would have to believe the guy probably lost something from the injury, at this point I can not think of another reason. The way the Saints RB's went down last year, it's way too early to release someone because the others look good. We shall see...

Is this a big surprise

Wasn't going to make the team. Why risk him being injured again and having to pay him on IR?
