Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut

nola_swammi · 10-22-2013, 06:11 PM

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

Because we didn't have the time to look for a trade. Griffin was apparently a hot commodity and the Rams could have signed him at any time...

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.

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.

Apparently they can, because they did...

I hate to see Wilson go but happy for Ryan.

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

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.

My thoughts exactly...just not the Clowns. It would make me sick.

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.
