More roster moves?

They could all be candidates for the 2014 training camp.

We'll need to hit on numerous cheap players in order to get the top end of our roster signed.

Another 2013 Draft/UDFA class would be the perfect solution to some of our cap problems.

+1. Toon has been a major disappointment for me this far.

I understand he is a 2nd year player but I expected a bit more.

If poor performers need to go to get Job #1 done, then so be it.

Not exactly the standard issue amazing Saints offense. This is the worst offense we have had since 2005. The defense has held this team together and statistically its not the best defense we have had in the Payton era (2010). I thought the 2011 Saints team was the best I have seen, record breaking offense and a defense that played well enough.

We have had a serious drop off in our offensive production this year, partially due to Payton's poor play calling and Drew not having a #1 WR (not TE). Drew needs a fast and physical WR to get the ball to. It is disappointing to see him get time in the pocket yet find no open targets. Furthermore I think going to the zone blocking scheme was a mistake.

All that being said we have a shot at the 2 seed and anything can happen in the playoffs.

So when you go on season ending IR in 2012, that makes him a rookie in 2013?

It does when IR came before the 2012 season...

Good! Some of these guys just aren't justifying their salaries. (Grubbs, Toon, Brown and much as I hate to say it Evans and Lance Moore.)

Preston Parker looked great in the preseason.

I agree cut Toon and bring anyone in
