Re: 9 2016 New Orleans Saints free agents who remain unsigned
Had high hopes for Kruger, but he was a bust.
Hills might resurface if we get hit with OL injuries again Quite a few also-ran DB's on the list. I guess when your projected nickel D DB's are all on IR or suspended by the second half of the year warm bodies are needed. other than Mauti, no offense to these guys, but I hope we have better alternatives in '17 |

Too bad about Mauti. He recovers and he's going to catch on somewhere else like Ninkovich.

Re: 9 2016 New Orleans Saints free agents who remain unsigned
Can't see bringing Kruger back with all the DEs we have now...
Earlier in the offseason, I'd hoped we'd re-sign him and draft Hendrickson to guide him along... We'll be fine; Kruger played well towards the end of the season, he was, after all, signed in Week 1... And then he was recovering from the neck problem...we should probably keep his phone number on speed dial... He'd be the only one on the list I'd want back at this point...Mauti will need another year for recovery... |

Came in day 1 and was given the starting job, never earned it. Better yet, he was awful at the position and still played all year. Kruger was no different than Bobby Richardson. Meanwhile a guy that actually earned the spot rode the bench all season... Maybe that's not his fault, but the coaches should have benched him at some point. |

But like I said, that's the NFL, even Cam Jordan had an off year. It happens, and that's just too bad. |

Second, he was still recovering from a neck injury... And third, just when he really was getting into his groove, he was injured in Week 4 and not at playing strength until Week 8... It's moot now, but there were many challenges with bringing him in so late... |
