Saints Cut C.J. Spiller

09-13-2016, 09:17 PM

I'm thinking somebody needs to be trying to hook Sean Payton back up with his ex-wife.

Post divorce the man is like an untied balloon you let go ahead - flying uncontrollably all over the place belching out hot air.

How many more to cut bait with? Let's just go ahead and hand out grades post-XLIV for free acency

And exactly how many teams have you coached to a single win in the NFL? Or exactly who was the first player you signed to an NFL contract?

Is Payton above criticism because nobody on here is a pro coach?
Maybe then Payton shouldn't judge a QB as he wasnt a great one himself

He is 26-25 in his past 51 games since his suspension compared to 41-13 in the three seasons before

Leaving with class at least...

“This organization really believed in me during free agency,” Spiller told Anderson. “They gave me another opportunity when my contract was up in Buffalo. I have nothing but good relationships that I have built here. It’s a first class organization that gives the players everything they need to be successful. So, I definitely don’t have any hard feelings.

“Now, I’m just going to wait for the next right opportunity. I still have a lot of football left in me. I’m pretty sure in the ext day or so, me and my agent will start getting in to it.”

The Buffalo Spiller is better than Murphy or Lasco as a 3rd down back, no question. And I think thats what we all thought we were finally getting. But something was obviously wrong. Was it attitude, health? My guess is a combination of several things and since Murphy and Lasco excel at special teams, he was the most expendable.

It might still be true that Spiller >>> Murphy and Lasco as a starting RB in 2016, but not so much in overall team value when you throw in future potential and special teams.

So, did I successfully crawfish outta that one???

lol, I am sure I have done it too.

Pretty much.

Saints paid Spiller 1.7M base salary and a 1.55M roster bonus, then cut him.

I have never claimed to know it all. I just point out the fact that nobody else does either to those that think they do. None of us know crap.

Dude why you attacking me? Exactly how many NFL teams have you coached? Players signed? Etc?

I'm as rose-colored glasses as most around here but I can see the self-inflicted wounds. This team is in self-destruct mode and looks like they are in total disarray. They look desperate.

How many YEARS now have we heard that there's just a little tweaking or a few adjustments to be made and this defense is STILL at the bottom of the NFL.

Don't you think 34 points should be enough to win a NFL game??? Last year we had a game where 49 points was not enough to win!

I may not be the love child of Bill Bellichek and Bill Walsh but I can figure out if you're scoring 30+ and losing every year you suck at defense...
