Yeah, he played rugby and I'm going to miss him. I hope he punts another ten years and makes us regret cutting him.
The last punter the Saints regretted cutting was the original Ron Widby!

a 4th round draft choice of the Saints He signed for a $50,000 bonus, who released him in August when he couldn't beat rookie undrafted free agent Tom McNeill.

In 1968, he became the starting punter and finished tied for fifth in the league with a 40.9-yard average. He had a franchise and a NFL record, with an 84-yard punt against his former team the Saints (also had a 56-yard punt in the same game) and set a second club mark by averaging 53.4 yards per punt.

In 1969, he voluntarily gave his #12 jersey to future hall of famer Roger Staubach, who had resigned his naval commission to join the Cowboys. He finished second in the league with a 43.3-yard average.

In 1970, he was second in the NFC with a 41.3-yard average. He also set a Super Bowl record with nine punt attempts, while playing against the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl V.

In 1971, he was third in the NFC with a 41.6-yard average. He played in Super Bowl VI and became the second Cowboys punter to be named to the Pro Bowl (Sam Baker was the first).


Sorry Kwon, Trey, Ryan and Marshon we couldn't do a deal with you because we didn't want to regret cutting Morestead. We had to trade Kamara and CGM in order to pay his $15,345.00 salary. No we don't expect to win many games but Thomas's leg will earn it's money!! We brought back Billy Joe Hobert at 50 to play QB. Now we have the oldest starting QB in NFL history!!!
