Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
I wonder if Martez was cut over Dawson because of salary cap? Under 3 different def coordinators and showed so much potential the following years this a head scratcher since Humber, Reddick, Dawson, Herring, & Abdul-Quddus I thought will be preferable cut. Why not trade him for someone or 2015 at least draft pick

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
I'm definitely shocked Martez was cut... I know we all had such high hopes for him. He was pretty much leapfrogged though by Parys Haralson and our hopes for him are pretty much based on measurables like his size and speed. Maybe he is a better fit at ILB and I know some team will give him a shot but he didn't get it done here. Wish we had been able to trade him.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
Maybe the stats would be different if he was out there more.. he could even be nice if we catch another injury bug but you can't tell me he wouldn't be the better choice down the road out of some of the older guys on the roster.
Chasing can Newton down sideline to sideline you can't cut talent like that. |

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
That's the last player I expected to see cut today to make room for Griffin. I had high hopes for him coming into the season but his production deserves him getting cut. Hope he can resign with the Saints sometime later this season

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
I wish we hadn't given up on him so soon... He has that freaky athleticism that you have to be born with. There's no way he doesn't get snatched up by a team that's in need of LB help like the Bears, Texans or dare I say it... the Falcons.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
He's really not what the Falcons are looking for in a OLB... They prefer the smaller 4-3 LBs who are good in coverage. They play in mostly sub-packages keeping only 2 LBs on the field.
