The Saints have waived Khairi Fortt

surprise? nah not one bit, read the scouting reports. i post enough of them on the kid. PS material at the best.

yep that one is all Rob's. gave him a break because he he usually gets some pretty good LB for depth. swing and a miss.

he might end up on the PS? can he?

stop drafting injuries players with up side already. Drew was a fluke for the love of god.

Chip Vaughn over Kam Chancellor lmao i never got over that move

ALOT of good players on NFL rosters chosen after Fortt who was a reach at best. The staff has hit on some longshots/small school players but they've also missed. Like coach Payton, the front office outthinks itself sometimes. Run the ball. Pick a proven player from a big school.

More than half never pan out. "Big schools" does not always produce top tier talent.

Well it just goes to show once again that the Saints don't care if they drafted you or not, if somebody else is performing better you will be gone. Just like with PT and that 'whatshisface' RB we picked in the 4th round that year.

I still dont get why we drafted him or Rooks to be honest.
We have no depth on the line and turned down OG's Yankey,Richardson and Dozier,OT Richardson,CB Desir to draft him

Don't forget Bills Starting Right Tackle Seantrel Henderson from the "U"...

In all honesty I find this kind of bizarre. We could have IRed him for the year, but instead chose to release him. He seemed like he was making decent progress during preseason. There has to be something to this other than we A) don't like him as a player, and B) He's hurt. Just seems really odd and unexplainable.

I understood that one as he had major character issues, didn't he?
