Saints make final cuts get to 53!

strato · 09-03-2011, 05:22 PM

Saturday afternoon was the deadline and the New Orleans Saints knew they had a lot of decisions to make regarding players that were easy to cut, hard to cut, and extremely difficult to cut. A number of players were already let go, but now it was time to get those last few names and let them know to turn in their black and gold.
Below are the final names that the Saints had to make roster moves with in order to get down to the league-mandate of 53 players for the regular season.

LB Nate Bussey
QB Sean Canfield
WR Andy Tanner
CB Terrail Lambert
LS Kyle Nelson
C Cecil Newton
TE Michael Higgins
LB Clint Ingram

Well in a way yes, but in another no. I've thought all along that Johnson was automatic barring a season ending injury - which the calf isn't - but I think that Miller is a better fit to what the Saints and GW do in that particular position than King is.

I have nothing against King and I think that he will develop into a good player with the right tutelage, but he got pushed around pretty bad against the Titans and somehow I see that as a trend which will repeat itself.

If I had my way - I'd like to see him slim down a little and move to being a LB like he was in HS (if I remember correctly). He could develop into being a good rushing OLB with the motor he has, and, therefore, I would like to see him signed to the PS while the sturdier Miller could take his spot in the 53 if the Saints plan to keep 5 DTs on the active roster.

Hall can play like a TE, which is one of the things I took away from the Titans game. While D. Thomas has been a TE, who can play FB - I think that Hall can be the same vise versa... and more.

So I see Issa Abdul Quddus my personal pick made it...so far good job young man

RB we are about as deep as it can get. DB, I'm concerned about depth but I think GW feels he can get decent pressure enough with this group to marginalize that concern.

I thought Ramon Humber was cut the other day?
