I know there’s more to it so save the analytic bs. Ozigbo probably mumbled something back at Patton and he was out the door.

Sorry, st thomas, but you are incorrect on this part. The Saints are bringing in players not to "try out" for the practice squad, but to evaluate as possibilities later down the road. It has nothing to do with Ozigbo or Murray or any other individual player. It is called doing your due diligence to prepare for future needs. EVERY NFL team does this immediately following the 53 man cut down. I would be more concerned if they DIDN'T bring in a slew of cut players to evaluate, regardless of position.
