So far the players the saints lost for sure are the following. (If I missed any that are gone for sure please let me know.)

Drew Brees- The greatest Saints in the franchise history but his injuries crippled us last year.

Emanuel Sanders- Our number 1 receiver last year but brought in as a number 2. I’ll take a healthy Thomas over him any day.

Kwon Alexander- A great addition but only played 4 or 5 games. Not really a big deal.

Jared Cook- He was once a good player but was a liability last year.

Thomas Morstead- A saints legend but he was bad last year.

Janoris Jenkins- a great number two corner. This one will hurt. Looks like that is a priority to replace though.(Richard Sherman is a name being thrown around but I expect there will be a replacement signed soon)

Trey Hendrickson- He balled out last year. We will need Davenport and Cam to perform better to make up for losing him.

Malcolm Brown- A really good rotational piece on the D Line but the saints have a lot of depth there.

Josh Hill- Great locker room guy. Always did his job. Was never a star but definitely sucks to lose.

There are some other players that aren’t starters that are also up for grabs but haven’t been signed anywhere. Overall these losses really aren’t that bad. This roster will still be more than good enough to compete for the division.

i disagree. a healthy kwon would have been huge... cap manipulations would have been difficult. i hope kwon comes back somehow still.

WR will be pretty easy to fill given the market this year.

We are in deep, deep trouble currently at DT/LB/CB.

So losing good players won’t hurt because the guys that couldn’t start in front of them will be just as good or better.


Makes sense to me.

You should probably split this between players cut and players signed somewhere else. There were some rumors/thoughts that some of the players cut would be resigned for a lot less sometime after the league year starts on 3/17. The team just needed to clear some room and get creative with some of the other players first.

As a Packers fan I don't think you really realize what a bad season looks like for a Punter Packers haven't had a good punter in 20 years... And Morstead was not bad by any stretch of the imagination last year

Outside of Davis who do we have at the weakest position on the saints Since the dome Patrol ... We always need a LB, Kwon would fit what we Really need.
