That is bad news. Now for the good news............Edibali, Onyamata, Tull and Gwachum.

Edibali played well last year when he was on the field and should improve.
Onyamata is my early favorite for camp beast because he will see more snaps now.
Tull is from UTC and was injured which is why we got him later in the draft. He has a ton of potential and has been in the system for a year now.
Gwachum is an intriguing prospect and I've read really good things about him and his NFL growth.

Pineapple Express on ice for a year... sucks, but we have some young guns ready to step up, methinks.

Mike Neal GB would probably work with our cap better.

Turns out it was the same knee that was damaged in college. Not good.

It's a loss, but it's not the end all, hurry back Kikaha. Long way to go to find a replacement.

I can see the Saints possibly targeting someone after all of the final cuts have been made through out the league later this summer.

Often times good players are cut not because they are devoid of talent & ability but because of a teams overall depth at the position. I'm certain Sean/Allen will target one of those players.

Saints coach Sean Payton believes Hau'oli Kikaha's third torn left ACL is "not necessarily" career ending.

Going on 24, Kikaha tore his left ACL twice in college. In somewhat confusing reasoning for his optimism, Payton said the ACL could be repaired "as if it were the first ACL, not the third." Kikaha is holding off on surgery, but it's inevitable. It's not unheard of to return from three ACL tears, but the odds are sadly against the 2015 second-rounder.
