The time stamp on that says 4pm. Final was not done until 8pm. That was released (according to the stamp) around 4 pm.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Nick Toon's season is over? WTF!
He played last night!!!!!!

That one confused the cr4p out of me
also.

Off of Roto
"Nick Toon: Saints place WR Nick Toon on I.R.
Nick Toon - WR - NO - Aug. 31 - 9:02 pm et
Saints placed WR Nick Toon, RB Joe Banyard, S Jose Gumbs and CB Marquis Johnson on injured reserve, ending their seasons.
After an impressive offseason, Toon quickly fell behind Adrian Arrington, Joseph Morgan and Courtney Roby while dealing with a foot injury in training camp. Toon will have a shot at the No. 3 or 4 receiver role next season after red-shirting as a rookie. Aug. 31 - 9:02 pm et."

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

When does the new rule for IR start? If I read the article right it
is this year.

Re: Toon placed on IR
 

Too bad about Johnson, really liked him over Mack.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

He played last night but he didn't play WELL last night.

Re: Toon placed on IR
 

At least one of those players will have a chance to make it onto the active roster later in the year!

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

What's the new rule? Refresh my memory....

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

One guy per team can come back from IR each season.

New Orleans Saints cut-down analysis
 

Click here for the complete list of New Orleans Saints roster moves.

Most significant move: The Saints have a history in recent years of finding obscure running backs (see Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory). They’ve done it again. Undrafted rookie Travaris Cadet made the roster. So did Thomas, Ivory, Mark Ingram and Darren Sproles. That leaves the Saints very heavy at running back, but that’s not a bad thing. Cadet almost forced the Saints to keep him by having a tremendous preseason. Now, the Saints have the upper-hand on any team looking for a running back. Sproles is likely untouchable and I don’t see the Saints parting with Ingram, who joined them as a first-round pick last year. But Thomas and Ivory have shown they can do a lot of good things and the Saints could add a future draft pick if a team that’s desperate to add a quality runner is willing to make a trade.

Onward and upward: One of the best kicking battles in NFL history was won by Garrett Hartley, who spent the summer kicking against veteran John Kasay. Both have kicked in the Super Bowl and both kicked well this summer. I don’t think there really was a clear winner. Kasay and Hartley finished in a dead heat and the Saints made the logical decision. They went with the homegrown guy, who still has four seasons remaining on his contract. As long as Kasay, 42, wants to keep playing he should be able to find another place to kick because he showed no signs of slipping with his preseason performance.

What’s next: The linebacker corps still remains a question mark. Starters Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne have been injured and it’s unclear if they’ll be ready for the season opener. The only other linebackers on the roster are Scott Shanle, Jonathan Casillas, Will Herring and newly-acquired Barrett Ruud. I’ve got a strong suspicion the Saints will bring in a linebacker (maybe two) from somewhere else in the next few days.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Yeah that's what I was thinking... One player on IR can come back that same season as basically the same thing as the PUP list. If that does go into effect this season then Nick Toon absolutely will be the guy they activate.

Re: Toon placed on IR
 

If that new IR rule goes into effect this year which I think it does then Toon and Johnson might be back this year.

Re: Triplett rumor: Walker and AA make the 53
 

Wait, they kept AA and cut Canfield? Welll, okay I can see that. I still call BS, but not as loudly. I don't see anyone on the cut list that gave me more of a warm and fuzzy than AA. Hope he comes into his own this season.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

I'm reading it has to be someone that makes the 53. Rule can't be used before September 4.

He's on IR for the year, or until an injury settlement is reached.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

That sucks. I had high hopes for Toon. After seeing Marquis Johnson this preseason I thought he'd make an impact as well. Damn!

Re: Ivory kept!
 

Until we trade Ivory to the Lions.

Re: Ivory kept!
 

Glad to have them all

Re: Ivory kept!
 

Excellent!

Re: Ivory kept!
 

So far... I'm feelin' a trade comin' on too.

Re: New Orleans Saints cut-down analysis
 

Bahhh! A link to spen! I've gotta look closer at these clicks! Not a bad blog all in all though. Spot on with the LB thing. Maybe Ivory for a linebacker instead of a draft choice?

Re: New Orleans Saints cut-down analysis
 

That blog hugs root. Pat just copies and pastes. Better info can be round right here from one day to the next. Pat is a hack, like just about everybody else at E-SPIN

Re: Ivory kept!
 

Do they have a decent offensive tackle? either side, doesn't matter.

Re: Ivory kept!
 

That's what I said too.......

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

He seriously performed poorly at times. Some signs of life, mostly meh.
They're not going to cut their 4th round pick. He had a slow start at Wisconsin, only 17 catches his freshmen year after his redshirt season.

We'll get to see him again next season. Too much raw talent and genetics to let him slide.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Wait wait wait a second right their. AA made the team again. Does this guy have pictues of someone with a goat ??? What !

LB Lawrence Wilson got cut, man he was my ticket ! UConn Huskies cannot stick with the Saints.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Good job stashing Toon on IR. I'm pretty sure he would have been picked up by someone else. Not crazy abou keeping AA.

Tanner is what has me the most surprised. He must not have developed at all.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Tanner was hurt and it is very unlikely someone takes a shot at signing him, I think they know they will be able to stash him on PS. I think ML played this hand very very well.We were able to keep everyone we wanted. You cannot ask for anything better than that. Even better we have a stable of quality backups that we can trade later in the year if we need to plug a hole due to injury.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Would you guys rather AA or Shanle gone?

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

If we can get Shanle to eat AA...

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

AA

You can't walk down the street without tripping over a decent receiver in New Orleans, but the Saints seem to be having a hard time finding an linebacker that can stay on the field.

Re: Triplett rumor: Walker and AA make the 53
 

Danno, you scared the hell out of me with that initial post, but it would've been crazy for them to let TJ go and keep Walker - TJ showed a much better performance against the Titans than Walker did.

It's a shame about Higgins and Broughton, those were two guys I would've liked to see make the team, but the extra WR and RB meant that they had to make some tough cuts elsewhere.

Looks like a solid 53! :bng:

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Interesting ...hmmm ... TWO TE Grahams on offense! Does that mean two grams are better than one? Or perhaps we have new nomenclature for our offense, "The Graham Cracker Offense"! At the very least, it ought to confuse opposing defense a bit, seeing double perhaps?

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

AA, it is not even close to being close.

Re: New Orleans Saints Final Roster Cuts
 

Neither one. Until someone beats them out they should be on this team.

Obviously no one has stepped up enough to take their jobs.
