Honestly, I could see the Saints being just fine with all of the suggested individuals gone, but I would like to see at least Ingram and either Sproles or Thomas back... not necessarily both. While a large staple of backs is nice, I'd like to see the Saints highlight fewer of them during a single game, so that they'd be able to get into the running game a bit better - I think this especially holds true for Ingram.

Moore is another one I'd like to see back, but I'm not entirely sure if it's more from an emotional standpoint than production versus investment. A lot depends on Toon as well, if he can actually become a contributing part of this offense then maybe Stills could take up Moore's spot, but again that's an unknown while Moore is at this point of his career a well known commodity.

I feel like Greer's time with the Saints is done, while he is/was still a great coverage CB, he has started to lack the physicality to keep up with many of the younger more physical receivers around. Add that to the effect that this latest injury may have on his long-term conditioning, and the Saints might be better of giving his roster spot to a younger player. I'd like to see Robinson given (yet) another chance to show his worth, but if the staff thinks it's time to part with him I can certainly understand the logic behind that decision as well.

And definitely keep Bunkley around - if his contract can be massaged a bit all the better, but even with the terms in place I think he is a keeper.

Agree, not sure we need "wholesale" change; maintain continuity...

With maybe the exception on the offensive line...

Not sure we don't already "package" or "feature" certain running backs from week to week depending on opponent...

Expect that either Sproles or Thomas to be released from their respective contracts; both a Thomas and Sproles fan, but Sproles' size, being 30+, and much slower than two years ago, plus the knee injury - he's most vulnerable...

Thomas still has the power and is the most effective running the screen (have posted ad nauseum); but Ingram is his biggest factor in returning; Ingram could be extended with his salary slot and Thomas will turn 30 this season...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Thomas is most likely to be cut because he a no dwad money at all...
