Who are the same people who said Jake Delhomme wasn't a good practice player?

I can't remember where I heard it from, but that was the rumor on why he never played early on.

People who caught more passes than AT perry (12) in a Single Season as a Saint last couple of seasons.

2022
Jarvis Landry (25)
Tre'Quan Smith (19)
Marquez Callaway (16)
Adam Troutman (18)

2021
Ty Montgomery (16)
Lil Jordan Humphery (13)
Juawan Johnson (13)

Let's be real. AT perry played 343 snaps last season, he got 18 targets and caught 12 passes.


That is not significant production. Dude can't get open. Dude doesn't run routes well. He lost his roster spot to 2 rookies and Cedric Wilson.

but tell me again how badly the front office messed this up.



12 catches in 10 games played does not scream "gamer" to me.

I think we all fell in love with him because he caught those two ropes (one for a touchdown) from Winston in that incredible rally against the Vikings.

 

[Bayareasaint]

Yeah! Waiving him seems a bit much. Loads of potential there.

Character related?

Claimed by Denver in 3...2...1.

"And here. We. Go."

 

[texasjefe]

I like A.T.

He became expendable because of scheme.

Targets this year:

Olave, Sheed, and Kamara... 23 targets each so far

Rest of team...25 total.

Plus the Saints do run the ball with purpose more now.

I hope he clears waivers. If he's picked up, as there are a number of WR-needy teams, I'll be a fan of his.

…or Atlanta.

It’s a waive so they may attempt to bring him back but here’s a thought.

He doesn’t play physically like an X
He’s not going to overtake Shaheed or Olave as a Z and he doesn’t work the slot.

He seems to fit Payton’s scheme more than this one, and that’s ok. They have their developmental X in Bub Means on the roster already.

I’m ok w/ it.

This, soft Xs belong at a Diddy party, not playing WR in the NFL.

He plays in the NFL bro, he’s not that soft. He just plays like a smaller WR.

That's true, he did play in the NFL.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Hoping Tipton becomes the next Lance Moore, but not sure he is a gem just yet.

True dat. I guess I meant gem in that he is even on the 53 as an UDFA. A bit premature for sure on the true gem (Pierre Thomas type) UDFA.

 

[strandedsaint]

Well he did wear #17..........................................................hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[jasonsw]

As someone said, he couldn't even see the field this year, its not like anyone after Olave and Shaheed is playing even at a mediocre level.

Him being released is much ado about nothing.

By the way i wonder what Austin Carr is up to. A Carr to Carr connection is too good

It could just be a roster adjustment and they are willing to take the chance of possibly losing him to add a player at a need position.

You have to be willing to sign him to your active roster or else he may just be comfortable coming back to the Saints PS and keep developing in a familiar space and environment.

 

[RaisingTheBar]

Not sure he gets claimed. Could be a high probability he’s back with us.

 

[renegadewa]

He must have really dumped in someone's Cheerios to be waived.

It's a shame because the last half of last season he really showed potential.

More than meets the eye here folks.
