Defensive end Bobby McCray, who started for New Orleans at the end of last season after Charles Grant was lost to injury, was released by the Saints on Monday. Grant also was released earlier this offseason. The Saints signed defensive end Alex Brown, who likely will take over a starting role, in April. McCray made nine tackles in the Saints' three postseason games in New Orleans' run to the Super Bowl title. In two seasons with New Orleans after signing as a free agent in 2008, McCray 59 tackles with 7½ sacks, three pass defenses and a forced fumble. Source: ESPN.com
um, ok? he seemed to be a pretty good back-up/rotational guy. was he going to cost too much money this year or is there more to the story?
Might not have been sold on his tactics to hit the 35+ year old Qb's as hard as he could when they didn't have the ball.
yea screw dat dude, is he number 69? Cause if he is thats the guy who low blowed brett **********Automerged Doublepost********** nvm i just saw he is number 93, but i think he was in on the hit too, so yea screw em.
You guys already picked up Alex Brown. There aren't any real big name FA DEs left except for maybe Greg Ellis and Afailius. Although this could mean the Saints are planning to clear up cap space for Big Al.
Hard for me to understand. He was at minimum a quality back up. He was due a roster bonus on July 1st. Maybe that had something to do with it.
It seems to me that Benson is going back to his old ways. He got his Super Bowl ring so now it seems that he is cutting cost now in order to make more money. I might be wrong.
