Re: Saints 2008 Off-Season Moves

they need to sign or draft a big running back that can handle the load. i've been saying for the past 3 years Duece should be cut loose. with surgery to both knees now, i do not think he will last long

Re: Saints 2008 Off-Season Moves

Cut Deuce loose?

I don't know bout that lacajun.. @ least right now.. Deuce seems to be playing along with the club, in that he agreed to push back his 1 mil roster bonus due March 15th back to April 15th so team can be sure he is ready before laying out any extra cash. No real need to make any decisions on him right now. Deuce indicates he will be ready come the fall and I am partial for showing players some lee-way for past efforts given for the club.

Saint's seem happy with Stecker and Thomas right now so not thinking any high draft picks will be spent. Every team picks up some over-looked players and invite them in for a look see come camp time.. IE: the aforementioned Pierre Thomas. Stay tuned though, April coming on fast.. thanks for comment
