Remember we don't have Drew to make any WR look good. It'll need to be a Sean Payton system player. Also, I wonder if Harris can take the beating being used more as a WR? It doesn't look like he can hold up to the increased load because of his small build. On the other hand, Callaway is a future stud!:doh:

Looking at those contracts for Malcolm Jenkins and Andrus Peat and then seeing this happen...

Now this leaves a big void. We have one outside CB now.

That is going to hurt.

As it stands a reduced pass rush and no legit CB2 in a division with the amount of great receivers teams have.

What could go wrong.

They really better have a plan more than get the top CB left in the draft

Liked the necessary move when we made it, and I like that we're moving on - we need to get younger and cap friendly at CB2...

This is my greater concern (pass rush); we barely had one with Trey Hendrickson having a break-out year...

Can Davenport finally play like a Round One pick, never mind Sean's Draft Management Foolhardiness?

and can Granderson be the Ready-5 guy?

I agree with this. Janoris was a solid #2 but he's up there in age + his cap hit made this a necessary cut based on the Saints current situation.

If I had one guess, I believe Malcolm Brown will be the next cap casualty. I'd cut Patrick Robinson (2M savings) as well.

Time to get younger, faster, stronger - see Tampa's secondary.

Loved having his depth, experience, but it was very expensive...

Know it's not popular with some here, but I want P.J. Williams back...

We've got to have at least two Swiss Army knives as reserves for the DB group...

The draft doesn't have to be the plan. Every team in the league are making these same sort of cuts as the Saints. All of these players, including those we cut, are going to be out there on the open market and will be signed at figures far lower than those they were carrying when released.

And we'll be right at the cap with all the contracts re-worked with the exception of Thomas, Kamara, Lattimore, and Ramczyk...

And we have two quarterbacks under contract - Drew Brees and Taysom Hill...

So, I'd say either trade or draft, or some amalgamation of those is what we definitely will be seeing...

We're learning the hard lesson that you can't buy every Star Wars Action Figure...
