A packers buddy is mad as heck about this one also. he likes the risk the saints are taking with the players we are picking for special teams. Despite great special teams play his play as a safety is questionable

GREEN BAY - The Packers negotiated an injury settlement with safety Chris Banjo, allowing them to release him to waivers.

It became clear the Packers were going to negotiate a settlement after they placed Banjo on injured reserve with a minor hamstring injury. When the injury isn't expected to last more than six weeks, the player is put on injured reserve with a "minor" designation.

The team then has to work out an injury settlement or allow the player to rehab until healthy and then cut him.

Banjo, a popular figure in the locker room and one of the team's best special teams players last year, was limited to two games this season because of the hamstring ailment. He played in 37 regular-season games for the Packers over four seasons.

Packers release safety Chris Banjo

What this makes me wonder is this, depth at safety?

Well, I hope it works out because we sure didn't keep the last Packer that those fans were upset was left exposed to waivers...

The pending loss of Mauti is important to special teams, but he was as important to linebacking depth, not safety depth...

I am starting to see, more clearly a lack of talent elevation and an air of desperation in the saints organization that is really worrying me more than ever.

You know I am not and have not been happy with the saints safety play nor the moves the saints have made in recent years to solve the talent. I have beaten this drum into pieces

keep an eye on this draft for secondary players especially on day 2.

But alas I have little faith they will do anything once again.

FS (3) 31 - Jairus Byrd, 48 - Vonn Bell, 49 - Shiloh Keo

SS (3) 32 - Kenny Vaccaro, 41 - Roman Harper, 37 - Chris Banjo

IR DB 30 - Erik Harris

Of the group keep Kenny Vaccaro, Vonn Bell, Erik Harris.

The rest can walk.

Even the keepers I am so-so on except Harris I see as a solid developmental player. But we are stuck.

This draft is a draft we can completely upgrade and rebuild the safety position.
