The New Orleans Saints parted ways with linebacker Mike Mohamed on Tuesday, only six days after he joined the team.

Mohamed was waived after the Saints signed free-agent linebacker James Anderson.

Sometimes I think Sean Payton would rather us have a flag football league and he sees linebackers as an annoyance...

Well then... What an exciting adventure that was.

I might adopt Payton's way of dealing with problems. Maybe I'll go buy something and return a few days later and see if that makes any difference in my life, whatsoever. It sure works for the Saints... Obviously.

I do not get this at all. I am trying to stay calm til bi week. Rob is is pushing it. promising youth for a out of work veteran? the ideology is beyond me

Payton's OCD again?

Ellerbe and Kikaha must be ready to go, and Anderson is probably better than the guys we cut.

Why does everyone freak out about bottom of the roster transactions?

Mohamed was supposed to be a good coverage linebacker, and a younger player. James Anderson is no one at this point. He's not going to help.

And it has nothing to do with freaking out. It's the fact that this team is constantly bringing in players, releasing them, bringing them back again, etc. It's never ending.

There is always a little bit of something going on at the bottom of the roster for all teams, but in all my years of watching football I don't ever remember it being as constant as this. It's all this team does.

Mohammed was also coming off of an injury, perhaps he hasn't healed fully?
Mohammed was also know as a head case, perhaps he showed his ass again?
Perhaps he was totally clueless about our system (that wouldn't be a shocker)

There is nothng wrong with bringing in multiple players. We're evaluating them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with kicking the tires on numerous players. It helps us identify how they may or may not fit in if a certain player is injured.

Do you know for a fact that we're the only team that does this?

They knew he was injured when they got him. It was assumed that he would contribute once he came back, but he didn't get the chance. 6 days isn't time to know what the hell you have. So it just becomes a pointless move, something to do just for the heck of it. And that is my point and my problem with it. James Anderson is 32. What's he gonna do, find the fountain of youth? Kicking those tires will only result in a scuff mark on your shoe.

I don't follow the daily transactions of all teams but I have done so for the Saints, through several regimes, and have never seen so much pointless shuffling. So I find it hard to believe it's the norm for anyone. And it shouldn't be, for the reasons I've given.
