Peat will play better this year. I predict a min 76 grade from PFF.

If we want to resign guys like Ram, AK41 and Lattimore, we had to lose Warford and his contract.

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

Ramczyk, Lattimore, Mr. Marcus, and/or Kamara can be signed this year, ahead of schedule, puts money (that'll earn money) in the bank for them now for a cap friendlier contract...

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

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.

Clowney on a 1 year?

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.
