I know I'm late to the party on this, but; Darren's wife needs to learn the English language.

All excellent cuts and all one year too late. If these cats had been cut a year ago, we'd easily have beaten Seattle.

Looks like Loomis took my advice and is finally doing his job. Bout time.

Now cut PT, Bunkley and Hawthorne and I can call it a night.
I'm glad you're not the Saints GM

Time to trim the fat and get some young fast athletic players to compete with the Mighty NFC West.
Bunkley just turned 30, and Hawthorne is 28.

Hardly ancient sport.

You said ancient and washed up.

Bunkley's dead money is 4.83 million, so if you cut him we only save about 1.2 million. You won't find a better DT for 1.2 million.

He should restructure, but I'd be disappointed if we cut him.

Hawthorne may have been our best LB last year. Hawthorne has 3.5 million cap, but 4.5 in dead money. If we cut him it actually adds a million to our cap.

PT is probably the best candidate because he has a 2.9 cap hit and zero dead money.

So, by cutting all 3 of these players you save a grand total of 3.1 million, of which PT accounts for 2.9

Way to take it to a personal level... classy move!

Back to the subject at hand... I don't see any reason to outright cut Bunkley nor Hawthorne. Both played well last season and cutting them wouldn't improve the cap situation versus the strength of the roster one bit.

Why would we cut Bunk and Hawthorne?
Both of them save just over $1ml in cap space each but we would be paying them over $4ml each in dead money.

Who you going to get to replace them for under $2ml when you already need a new starting C,RT and need depth on the O-line,RB,CB,WR

Of all the players listed i fear PT getting cut the most

others are contract issues making it harder to justify money wise. but impact on the team? PT cut will hurt the most

We need draft choices!
