Tanner has one thing going for him over tebow.. he plays wr not qb.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Tanner is the model of resiliency

Waive, cut or re-signed 33 times and finally made the team

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

I get what you are saying but its different getting a job as a WR than a QB.
Years ago Tebow would have had to have made the change but players are paid so much before actually doing anything these days.
He is a decent guy and i wish him well but if you can make it with the Jets or withthe other sides,not too mention a terrible arm you have no hope except a trick offense all based around you

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Well that's changed with the assigned Rookie Pool which the League and Union finally got done...

...Too late if you're the Raiders though...

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

I know it must be hell waiting for the players I feel like time can't move faster and I'm just a fan.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

By the way Lee, figured out why you're scooping these guys...

...you're SIX hours ahead! That's Dedication my friend... ;)

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Here's to hoping that the Falcons sign Tebow.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Boy, I was just thinking that when you posted it...

...all those years of hard work, good and bad breaks, pray for these guys...

...but then again, it's not like they're flying in transports to Afghanistan, riding in a FireTruck to a FiveAlarm Call or answering a dispatch to a domestic compaint in a bad neighborhood...

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Surprised Richardson was cut and all the RB were kept.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

surprised by Johnson being waived that being a pick. I feel like a bandaid has been ripped off.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

I just now saw Parker got waived. That surprises me since Roby got cut too. I figured Roby was cut to make room for Parker who could take over for him on special teams.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

We kept all of our RBs so what's the chance that Robinson actually gets touches this year?

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

So cuts/releases are done. Now the moves go on for about 10 more days.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Parker and Johnson are the only ones that have me scratching my head. I figured on the rest. I really liked Griffin too. Hopefully he will clear waivers.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Look at what Ivory got and pencil Robinsons name in.

Everything else will be the same with Cadet on returns.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

@MikeTriplett: #Saints keep Jonathan Vilma on 53-man roster, a good sign they expect him back from injury soon. Kept 6 ILBs, only 3 ILBs (R.Johnson cut).

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

@MikeTriplett: #Saints kept TE Josh Hill ahead of Michael Higgins, Austin Johnson. Kept Tim Lelito as backup G/C.

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

Only 3 ILB and one who will be lucky to get through the season uninjured.
Moving Wlson inside or a trade?

Re: *Official* New Orleans Saints cuts for 2013
 

@MikeTriplett: #Saints kept 6 undrafted rookies (RB Robinson, CB Sweeting, DE Foster, LB Reddick, TE Hill, OL Lelito).
