Cut Spiller and Ingram and roll with Forte/Hightower

8 million in dead money and 550k cap savings.






that's before we sign Forte and hightower.

Ingram looked very good up until getting injured.

And you want to cut him and Spiller in favor of two 30 year old backs?

I dont know about cap space, but cutting Ingram for Forte/Hightower is fricking retarded.

Ingram gets way to much hate on this board and it's bullshite.

Boom roasted

I apologize to the board God's and will do my due diligence towards researching and educating myself on the cap before making a bad thread. My bad.

I really like Matt Forte though, and he's a perfect fit for this offense if he can stay healthy. And Hightower may have been injured a lot but he doesn't have any mileage on his legs.

Of course not much of that matters if they're both old and our cap gets screwed by cutting ingram and spiller.

Long shot I know...but Forte has Louisiana ties and may feel he would make a good fit in CSP offense. What do you think would be the max saints would give him if he was interested in playing in Nola?

As for Hightower, I would like the saints to sign him to the practice squad and bring him in as fresh legs say around week 12 or so.

I'd take Forte over Ingram all things equal. However financially, this would make no sense.

I wouldn't take Forte over Ingram at this point in theirs careers. Ingram is entering his prime.
