Correct me if I’m wrong but Warford was off the books next year so how does this effect signing those guys?

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

Last night on WWL, they asked Strief about Warford.

Paraphrasing here but the oline coaches wanted Larry back. He believes this cut has more to do with picking up a free agent. At worst Larry would have been solid depth.

Don't rule out the return of Eli Apple (depth/familiarity with the Saints D) or bringing in another veteran LB in case our two injury prone LB's can't stay healthy.

To be continued ...

Warford was the 2nd best available guard that year. I wanted the other player(his name escapes me) but we went the cheap route and I was disappointed to get Warford. It sounds funny that he was a three time pro bowler with us and played fairly well his first year. However, since then though he looked sloppy on the field and didn't open holes or stand his ground well.

Honestly, I thought that the Saints would keep him for critical depth on the O-line. But like ya'll said we now have some spending money to flash around at the free agents.

Zeitler? TJ Lang was also said by some to be better than Warford at that time. He retired last year

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

Or injury.

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

Rather a Lb or Wr but I have absolutely no problem with Apple. Idk if what happened in Vegas had anything to do with injury or what but he was above average when healthy.
Apparently the staff loves Jackrabbit keeping him over Apple with such a small sample size.

Don't forget all the VETERAN PRESENTS Eli will bring to the locker room!!!

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

Clowney on a 1 year?

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

I just don't see it 76. When it's all said and done, I think a team will overpay for Clowney.

I'd prefer another linebacker. After Demario, it gets kind of dicey. I've read that John Lynch is looking to shake up some things on defense out in Niner land. Kwon Alexander is a name that comes up as a possible post June 1st cut.

I'd still prefer Everson Griffen (1a) or Alec Olgletree (1b) as a possible FA signing for the Saints.

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

I'd say LB is 1 and CB is 1A.

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

I wake up each morning wondering why we didn't trade this guy on draft day and recoup something?

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

I’m sure they tried which makes me think it may be injury related.

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

It's money and value

Why trade for a man and take on that salary while giving up picks when you could just wait for him to be cut. Everyone knew he was getting cut the day after the draft with the new deal for Hill and Winston added to his replacement being Drafted.

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

We traded him to the only team willing to take him - the free agency team.

Re: Saints Cut G Larry Warford
 

I'm sure inconsistent play & getting blown up vs Atlanta, Niners and Vikings wildcard game (his worst film on 2019) didn't sit well with Payton either.

In addition to cap/salary/contract issues of course.
