About time!!!

So how does this help us cap wise?

 

[SweetT]

So, get a $2 million dead cap charge for Cook and save $2.5 million by releasing Hill. Saving $500K. Sounds correct?

Can someone explain why we cut him instead of letting him become a free agent in 4 weeks? Free agents count towards compensatory picks, cut players do not.

Surprised about hill but kinda glad that cook is gone, he had terrible hands at the worst times. Trautman is gonna be huge

 

[Crawdaddys]

Would love to sign Jonnu Smith if the Titans don't re-sign him.

And this my friends,..........................starts the domino effect.

Who was worse: Fleener or Post-Concussed SF Cook?

This team has not had luck with TEs post Graham. I’m starting to think Jimmy G put a curse on the Saints through some voodoo magic as a “that’s what you get for trading me”

Fleener

 

[ilvdsnts]

Hill was probably a tough one for Payton---UFDA that sticks for 8 years?

Or was this a cost cutting move & he could be brought back?

Sorry, what is a UFDA?

Undrafted Free Drafted Agent

 

[SuperSaint]

They'll try to bring Hill back at a reduced salary, and then go TE in either the draft or FA, smart moves...

Woukd you guys try to acquire Njoku? Word is he is likely gone. I liked his athleticism coming out. I think he could do well here.
