Re: Broderick Bunkley Released

Wonder if him not being healthy is the reason Sheldon looked so good in the draft.

Colston and Byrd on the PUP.

Is another cut coming? :confused:

Re: Broderick Bunkley Released

Coach released him to light a fire under his ass to get in shape and to focus. I trust he will be back in the fold.

Re: Broderick Bunkley Released

Would not be surprised to see him back but they need the spot during Training camp.

Re: Broderick Bunkley Released

Bunkley, who went on injured reserve last season with a quad issue, was unable to practice at all this summer, and Payton said the timetable for his rehab was longer than the Saints could afford to wait.

"It had nothing to do with we're going to move on," Payton said. "We just felt like, at the time, there still was quite a bit of work to be done with him and the rehab process. I would say that we were pulling for him as much as anything ... because he does have a presence and he's so well respected."

The Saints waited as long as they could before releasing him, hoping the injury would get better.

"He's a guy we were really pulling for from a health standpoint," Payton said. "He's still has a little bit of time with his rehab, and so we had a long visit the other day. I think the world of him."

But if Bunkley could eventually get healthy, Payton wouldn't say no to a reunion.

"Absolutely," Payton said. "In fact when we spoke, we spoke about in a week and a half, him coming up for a day and just speaking to guys and spending some time with our team. But that would be fair."

Re: Broderick Bunkley Released

I'm not understanding why we will take a cap hit for next year. I thought all guaranteed money was paid this year and the books are cleared.

PC speak, more than likely...

Re: Broderick Bunkley Released

The guy took 2 pay cuts for us. He deserves another shot

I don't agree. After 2013 having a top O and #4 D we all felt like the Byrd signing with Vaccarro would be what put us over the top to win the SB. It didn't happen, but the move made sense. No one foresaw the team imploding like it did. Hindsight is 20-20.

John, make Meriden Ct proud.
