Would you be in favor of a 5th or 6th round pick saving 7.5M cap space next 2 yrs?

2.5 million this year, 5 million next yr, we got to resign that Drew guy who's pretty important and needs a defense etc.

I present Austin Rehkow, number 1 punter on board.

Very accomplished place kicker as well if ever needed.

Could easily replace Morestead's production and transfer his cap space to positions of actual importance where increased production is needed.

more accomplished than thomas' career at southeastern mississippi university.

I think we are all assuming Morstead will heavily restructure at some point. He's still one of the best punters in the league. I would hate to see us give him up.

Would be ironic to have the offense humming along the defense greatly improved only to have "the shakiest punter in the South"

Yeah let's not factor in hang time or net yards (which is the most important stat as long as you can boot them over 40 consistently).

Fair catches and limiting touch backs is super important and Morstead does a great job there.

How many times since he's been here have we given up a punt return for a td? How many of those were because the coverage was right there but let the guy free?

I can't recall a punt return td that was on Morstead.

But yeah clearly punting has nothing to do with points right?

Morestead is well liked in the locker room and by the fans. He might be the biggest star in the community that the Saints have ever had. Ask him to restructure, sure. Outright cut him, i doubt it.

Morstead has not been what's caused our cap issues. Complain about the Junyahs and Browners and their dead money that's where the cap issues come from
