5 Saints Who Should NOT Be Back Next Season

They have already started with the changes to the coaching staff, bringing in some familiar faces: Dan Campbell, Aaron Glenn, and Joe Lombardi.

I fully expect there to be more changes also, such as the announcement earlier today of long-time defensive guru Peter Giunta to be the new senior defensive assistant to defensive coordinator Dennis Allen — who held that same title last year before eventually replacing the fired Rob Ryan; who now is in Buffalo on his twin brother Rex Ryan’s staff,


The Saints simply just don’t have enough talent. They have players who should only be in limited roles starting on the defense, and that is not a key to success in the NFL.

For the Saints to get better fast there are some players, on both sides of the ball, who should NOT be in the black and gold next year.

Today, I am going to highlight some of these players who should not be back, starting with…

I agree about every player and I'll add John Jenkins in the mix

well the axe needs to be put away till FA draft and the freaking realization of the damage having 25% of your cap not playing for you.

some times it is better to bite the bullet you already shot yourself with than shot yourself yet again and have to bite down on two bullets longer.

I'd like to see what Spiller does when healthy; since according to Payton he was fighting injury all last year

I agree. It seems like every play they had him in they used him as a decoy. and three of those led to touchdowns because of the drawn coverage. He had only taken 5 snaps all season until Ingram went out. I think the injury excuse was legit. I would let him fight though camp at least. Most all of the vets like Jenkins, Strief, and Colston should be allowed to at least compete for the starting role. If nobody can beat them out then we have more problems than cutting them and signing others can help. Colston is a good player coach with his attitude and familiarity with the offense. I bet all of the above will restructure.

Re: 5 Saints Who Should NOT Be Back Next Season

I'd give Spiller one more year as he never looked healthy, the guy couldn't cut and change direction, something he excelled at in years prior.

Brandon Browner needs to go now
Trade Jon Jenkins, I literally never see him make any kind of play.
Let Peat try and beat Strief, if he does then we keep Strief as a backup.

I think it is time to move on from Colston, we started a youth movement at WR and they really developed well later in the season.

Restructure all of them and let a better player beat them out.

Jenkins was our 3rd best D-lineman. We'd be foolish to cut him.
