Saints just released a good safety

Saints released S J.T. Gray, per source

 

special teams demon, 3x all pro apparently

29 years old

 

also was a captain at least one year

Gray, who joined the Saints in 2018 as an undrafted rookie free agent, was a special teams standout and team captain. He has been a first-team All-Pro Selection twice and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 as a special teamer.

 

he was going to make about 3.5 mill this year, we can get him for less than that I'm sure.  Not sure how good he is at safety though

There are no “good” safeties cut a week before the season starts.

He’s not a safety in reality. Doesn’t do anything besides ST, but is very good at that. With how awful we’ve been there past few years just find room for him somewhere and do it

What, cut Renfrow again?  Thread title listed him as a good safety.

I don't know too much about him, but all signs point to him being terrible.  Just find room somewhere and do it?

Who would you actually cut for this guy?

Without looking at the roster, probably DJ Johnson or one of the waiver pickups.

This is akin to calling Karl Hamilton a good WR. He's a special teamer pushing 30. They probably found someone younger and cheaper who can do it and maybe actually play safety too.

Memory must be slipping man! Its Karl Stone Hands Hankton!

 

Before the days of Greg Olsen you knew if the ball got thrown to 88 it was punt time

Doubt they have had time to evaluate the pickups, and I assume they saw something to claim them.  DJ may be bad, but he is still grading out higher than Gray which is telling.

Like another poster already said, you don't get cut at this time a year for good reasons.

    • Moton would be gone by then, Ikey likely on a big deal and it's likely one or both of Lewis and Hunt will be gone due to finances or performance drops.  Mays will likely never see 6-8 mil/year here. He is a backup caliber player and has roughly the same valuation as BC. We should not be either relying on him as a long term starter nor paying him like one, as he is essentially a backup player. An extremely valuable one like BC but not one with a lot of free agency heat, I would imagine(like BC). You can't be paying backup IOL like starters. It's not smart.
    • What makes me think we keep vacillating is that Evero is pretty darn familiar with the offense and defense we just faced.  Think he was keyed in on certain things against his old regime.  Hope I'm wrong here and we can keep rolling.
    • This is the laziest post I've read of your in years.  Bryce has already proven he can throw more than 20 and still play well.  Has he done it consistently? I'm not sure i want any team to have to consistently ask their QB to throw 40 plus times a game. That is not plan for sustained winning.  In order to best the best teams, which often have good offenses, the best game plans, always involve a run heavy game plan.  You have to keep their offense on the side of the field.   You also have to gave the defense do their part.   Cam's MVP season, he was constantly getting short fields because our defense was taking the ball away.  Stop being lazy.  Stop talking down players abilities.
