Bottom Line - Saints fans CARE about their players so no cuts will be easy.

Restructure Bunkley... He's way too valuable in the NT rotation with Jenkins.

Stills and Moore do not equate at all. I completely understand letting Moore go but Kenny Stills doesn't replace his skill-set as a razor-sharp route runner with amazing hands. Stills is more of a deep threat at the moment. Will he develop into a more complete WR? We'll see.

I don't know what we'll do about the RB situation. Part of me wants to sign Dexter McCluster to replace Sproles, but at the same time I agree that we have become far too predictable with how we use our RB's and just signing a different guy to do what Sproles did might not help our offense at all.

Man, I don't know what the hell this team will look like next season... I'm excited by the changes but kind of scared at the same time.

Agree with every single word.

Stills does not equal Moore
Cutting Bunkley saves us peanuts

I think its all pretty exciting as well.

What I'm saying is IF you cut Bunkley depth is still needed behind Jenkins. If restructure isn't an option, there are several FA DT/NT on the market.

And yes, Stills season (32 catches, 641yds, 5 td) is actually BETTER than Moore's (37 catches, 457 yds and 2 td).

Sean thrives on mismatches so I expect a different look this year - to your point, not another Sproles type back.

.

Yes.
You cannot cut Bunkley, only restructure. Cutting him leaves you with almost 5 million in dead money, and no player. Then you have 1.3 mil left from his deal to sign someone.
