Here’s a move that’s a bit of a surprise. The New Orleans Saints just announced they have released defensive end Bobby McCray.

A starter much of last season after Charles Grant was injured, McCray seemed to have a secure roster spot. But the Saints brought in Alex Brown and Jimmy Wilkerson as free agents after releasing Grant. But, apparently, the Saints decided McCray was too much of a luxury. He’s a one-dimensional player -- mainly a pass rusher and he hasn’t produced a lot of sacks.

Brown and Wilkerson are better against the run and both are decent pass rushers. The Saints also have Anthony Hargrove who can play defensive end or defensive tackle. Will Smith is set as the other starting defensive end, but the Saints are likely to let Brown, Wilkerson and Hargrove compete for Grant’s former job.

The Saints also waived cornerback Glenn Sharp.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By frankw · Posted

      In terms of enthusiasm at this exact juncture it's a 5 only because regular season football is back and we are 0-0 and there is the development of some key young players that I am very interested in seeing in regular season action. That brief high will probably be knocked down to 1 by October though.

      I think the preseason performance has caused a "Meh" Cloud  to hover over the fan base.  I still have some interest and while I don't expect a lot of wins, I think there are other things I would like to see in terms of the team at least going in the right direction. On offense is Bryce the guy and is XL moving forward? Is the defense performing better with DB back Are the rookies and 2nd year players developing? That said, for me there is some intrigue but I don't think they will compete for a playoff spot.

      Well just a few years ago they went to the playoffs and won a playoff game with Daniel Jones at QB. And while the Giants have been up and down at best since their last Super Bowl they have shown to be a more competent organization. While the Panthers haven't so much as sniffed the playoffs in nearly a decade. Logic would dictate that the Giants strategy has a high probability to be at least modestly successful. The Panthers? Eh.
