Final 53

Wait and see.

Only rookie "locks" I see is Erik McKoy and CGJ.

Everything else is a guess.

We're keeping Ozigbo and Butler. Humprey probably gets plucked from us. A lot of teams are hurting at WR.

I see Ginn and Murray getting traded mid season to build more secondary defensive depth. Our division is going to have insane passing yards.

I’d love another OT. We just don’t have one... yet. As far as WR goes, we only have four active on game day. I don’t see us keeping 6-7 just to have guys be inactive and take up roster spots. I’m guessing that guys like Butler and Humphrey will either go on IR or the practice squad.

The Texans will snag Humphrey if he's cut. He went to college there. They are thin at WR. He's good with an upside. And, he has insight to the Saints playbook.

Agreed on Lil' Jordan... he's a gamer.

Time to trade Ginn for a backup OT.

The Saints placed TE Garrett Griffin on injured reserve, ending his season after he left Saturday's game with an unspecified injury. A shame for Griffin, who had earned a role on the active roster last year and caught his first NFL TD pass in the NFC Championship Game. He was competing for a roster spot along with fellow backup TEs Dan Arnold, Alize' Mack and A.J. Derby.

Triplett

We should see a few more moves like this.

Humprey, I kinda scoffed at him but the guy is a RB after the catch. He's not beating anyone in a foot race that's for sure but those 3-6 YAC is lethal. Not many WR's have that ability. If you look at his highlights, at times I swear, it looked like Deuce pushing the pile. Very hard to take down by one defender. He's one of those players that just knaws away chunks of yards.

If Robertson injury is not minor then Brandon Marshall would be good replacement. Raiders just released him.

I don't believe his over all health (knee) is where Gruden thought he'd be at this time of year.

I don't think the Wizard of Oz would ever make it to the PS.
