Saints release Nick Toon
 

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Saw that coming.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

No surprise. Toon lacks that desire to be great. He's your typical do the bare minimum and don't care about advancing type of guy. In our pass happy offense if he wanted it bad enough you bet he'd be getting playing time. But he doesn't want it bad enough. Good riddance.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

He could have been as good as his Dad, hunger just wasn't there...

And that's okay, just wished he wouldn't have wasted our time...

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Not a shock, Snead already looks like he has more desire than Toon ever had.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Snead was head and shoulders over Toon even if Toon was physically the same over him.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Arrington 2.0

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Feel bad for Toon, but SO GLAD we moved on. Just didn't work out, and we've got too much talent to be stubborn and keep forcing this guy. Best of luck to him.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

I don't feel bad for Toon.

He was given 3 years of opportunity and a HOF QB.

It didn't work man. Hope you realize your dream with another organization.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

this is great... now who's going to catch the ball for us

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

I hope that was sarcasm. If not we need a "sarcasm font".

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Arrington, Tanner and Toon must really be good dudes. They stayed on the roster for years and never showed a thing.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

That experiment is over............shrugs.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Willie, Willie, Willie.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

All of those clearly better than Toon, of course.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Love that kid.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

About damn time! I had high high hopes for Toon when we drafted him but seemed like he never developed. He's mediocre at best. Stuck with him too long in my opinion.

And I seriously hope Coleman breaks out. But honestly, I think he's going to be another bust. Hope I'm wrong

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Coleman went undrafted in 2014. Kind of hard to put that label on the kid.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Jessica Rabbit is the only Toon I ever liked.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Can he stay healthy? That was the gamble when we picked him.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Well said...

And for those who think the sky is falling at wide receiver...

We have a well-rested Marques Colston, a surging Brandin Cooks, a hungry Willie Snead, a promising Brandon Coleman and a fifth receiver in either Joe Morgan, Josh Morgan...

Moving along...:bng:

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

About time, he should have been cut last season.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Who?

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Yea but undrafted due to injury. If he wasn't injured he was projected, i think 3rd or 4th round.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

No surprise, he has been outplayed.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

This should have happened 2 years ago!

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

about time

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

All of his fathers talent, none of his fathers heart.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Toon, Sunseri and Powell were all placed on IR.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Nick Toon, WR for the Saints.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Just didn't work out. It happens. Wish him the best.
Someone else needs to step it up.
I'm still waiting for one of these newbies to show me some hands...
in a crowd...on 3rd-and-7 across the middle...shake it off then do it again...
make the adjustments when a little low or a little behind.
I've seen way too much bread basket catching and arm cradling.
Drops should be rare to non-existing.
PLEASE! somebody other than Colston/Cooks, make it happen in the moment.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

We've seen this before with other players. For whatever weird reason, Sean Payton has kind of a "thing" or a man-crush, for guys whose Dads played in the league. He's got Mike Golic, Jr. and Mark Ingram on the roster right now, and I am pretty sure he's done it before with other minor "second generation" players whose Dads were in the pros, as well. Remember Payton is a frustrated/thwarted player himself -- he lives vicariously through his team. Golic Sr., Al Toon and Mark Ingram Sr. were ALL kicking around the league at the same time when Payton was dodging sacks and throwing wobblers for the '87 Bears. So for whatever reason, Payton gives these guys every opportunity, every chance, and every benefit of the doubt. It's just a thing he does.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

You just described Willie Snead.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Didn't Lance Moore get cut by the browns just like Snead?

I don't why the Browns insist on cutting WR's that have got great hands.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Unfortunately, it was Lance's hand that was broken and he wasn't as sure-handed after that.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

Sounds like Lance is making a comeback with the Lions!

Lance Moore working to re-create his Saint-ly success

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

That's thinking Stafford can be a top five qb without chucking it to Calvin or Tate.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

No surprise, he had no heart. Didn't do anything.

Re: Saints release Nick Toon
 

The "Front Office" plan of "Not Having a Plan" is paying great dividends now!!! Now all we have to do is lose 16 in a row and leave the other team hurting!!! The Perfect, Perfect Season!!!
