JP,
Here are my thoughts on the aforementioned players ...

I only see Tull as a possible cut. Has not been impressive at camp.
Murphy - resolve the fumbling issues & we have a legit threat on punts/kickoffs.
Coleman - inconsistent but he sticks @ the 4th WR.
Lewis - I have no idea but I hope he gets somewhat healthy again. Just don't rush back too soon.
Jenkins - contract year & with the recent Rankins injury, this could save JJ.

Lewis - gone...

Jenkins - stay of execution with Rankins' injury, but Jenkins is done...

Tull - he's a pure 3-4 OLB, been out a year, and needs 3-4 coaching...

Speed Dial: Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, San Diego, San Francisco, maybe Denver; expect a 6th round pick...

Murphy - failures to protect the ball, Tommylee Lewis, Daniel Lasco; Murphy had better be spectacular the next two weeks...

Coleman - stone hands, slow development in route running, and inability to use strengths to shield pass path

Really hoped he could do something, but Coleman shrunk rather than seized opportunity this training camp and that could haunt you in big games on one play...

And just like that, Keenan Lewis is gone...

Trouble goes back to last season's little outburst on social media about promises re: guaranteed money...

Actually surprised it took this long for his departure - just goes to show the leverage decent cornerbacks have in this league...

Wish Westbank all the happiness he can find, just not at the Saints' expense...

Emergence of P.J. Williams and mature play of Da'Vante Harris and Ken Crawley makes Damian Swann looks tradeable; Garrett Griffin has made Luke McCown tradeable...and our needs are interior offensive linemen...hmm

I never believed he was ready. I never thought at this point he would be. Never like the pick so high.

Keep him at RG and by game 8 we should have a better idea if he is ready to be EVEN thought as a RT pf the future.

Best case ready to start at RT in year 3

You are not being very positive are you? I'm not saying you are wrong. Peat has not given any indication of the light bulb coming on. Really starting to look like Charlie Brown.
