No real big surprise yet.........but we've got a long way to go to get to 53.
There will still be some WTF? by the time we're done.

I was really hoping for a lot more from Chase Thomas. Everyone said that we had the best group of undrafted free-agent signings mainly due to Chase, Kevin Reddick and Rod Sweeting. Disappointed to hear he's been released but here's hoping he clears waivers and we can put him on the practice squad.

No real surprises; if Cadet keeps fumbling his name will be on the cut list!

Thought Cadet was cut with Wallace today?

Chase Thomas was the only surprising name on that list, but on the other hand, he hasn't really flashed during the OTAs and hasn't been noticeable in the first two preseason games - maybe PS if he's available for that.

If they were trying to sign him (Chase Thomas) to the PS, he would not have been cut this soon.

It's bye bye Chase. Maybe he will get a tryout somewhere else (Atlanta Falcons maybe, since he is from Georgia).

It may have been more upside to Rufus than Thomas, Rufus is a freak of nature and coached right could be a monster, just a thought!!

would they cut someone this early if they were going to go on the practice squad? I think it is more of a question of not being NFL ready.

Sometimes the draft boards are right....

True, but the Saints have a recent history of releasing players as early as possible, so that they can perhaps find a new employer while the preseason is still in full swing.

So, while it would be a long-shot that Thomas would be brought back for the PS - it isn't impossible, and certainly not because he was released this early.

A little upset. Saints have a long history of letting go of players, only to have them turn to gold elsewhere. Thumbs down for the Thomas move.
