Saints just cut starting OG Larry Warford

They didn't draft Cesar Ruiz #24 overall to sit the bench.

Could we potentially be interested? Should we? Our OG situation isn't exactly solidified and it would be an OL familiar with Brady's system.

Warford? More like Nochevy. 

...I'll see myself out...

Would be an instant huge upgrade. But I mean, we did trade Turner who was better than Warford away

We've acquired adequate guards over the course of the offseason.  No need to create a backlog now.  Plus, we need to be smart with what little cap room we have remaining.  I think the veteran corner thing has been beat to death, but the point still remains.

Id fugging take him in a heartbeat.

The offense Brady is implementing is one that similar to the one Warford just came out of.

backlog? What? Schofield is coming off injury. Reed hasn't shown anything yet. Daley is better at tackle. Larsen is underwhelming at guard. The only sure starter we have is Miller. We are far from a backlog.

Yes we need to keep investing in the oline. I hope we take this more seriously than we have been over the last decade.

We signed a couple of mediocre veteran bandaids. I'm not sure if they'll be adequate or not.

Even if you think all those guys are JAGs, do we have the means to sign him?  No.  Many teams have better resources and can offer him a more lucrative deal.  Warford and his agent surely knows his market.  He's not going to jump at the first 'bread crumb' offer some team throws his way.  That's exactly all we can put forth right now.  Not all holes can be filled in one offseason and the front office has done a sufficient job at trying to fix guard all things considered.  We can't jump on every big name that hits the waiver wire.  If so, some of you need to take a Xanax on June 1st.

Overpay for backup QBs and have to cut a ProBowl guard. Nice!

[hepcat]

Yes. This has to be on the Panthers radar. Big holes at both guard spots on this team.

[t96]

I’d definitely sign him right now for mid starter level pay. If he has a huge market and demands top guard money, then no.

[MHS831]

He will be 29 in June.  He is a starting caliber NFL G....

You have to wonder if they sought a trade first...

 I think we are better at G than people think....

Will this keep us from adding a CB?...that is all.
