For the lazy:

quote:

Nola.com has identified eight possibilities, several of which reportedly are likely to leave: defensive tackles Ego Ferguson and Anthony Johnson, running backs Jeremy Hill, Alfred Blue and Kenny Hilliard, wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, and left tackle La'el Collins.

Link says page not found, and to answer your question, no, we are not going to lose them all

Most those guys will be decent draft picks. Blue isn't going to ever get more carries than he has been, especially with Fournette likely coming in, so I get him too. Before last year, I felt like we hardly ever had underclass man leave under Les Miles.

That's an impressive list of players.

Beckham will be the best pro of that bunch.

I wonder why Kenny Hilliard feels like he can make an NFL roster. I understand he's got kids and wants to do what's best for his family, but I would think that would be earning his degree and joining the workforce.

I'm sure we will have a few that are most certainly leaving. Ha Ha, CyKo and Hubbard for sure. Pagan, Ivory and may DePriest.

There's about an 80% chance that ego and freak are coming back. 60% Collins.

The rest are gone. Magee has proven to be a legit back to help
Fournette, boo and Williams break in.

@ WR we already have trey Quinn (just broke beckham-green's record along with others). A white boy that runs a 4.39 40. And Has the best route running/hands combo in the nation. Expect noil and Dupree to join his company at the AA game.

At the least we will have a team like this on with young, yet A-1 talent. And cam Cameron has 3 really good QBs to mold from scratch.

In the right system he will be more than a serviceable back. The problem is that the league is flooded with rbs

DePriest isn't a senior? Feels like he's been around forever

NFL backup is prolly better than whatever else he can muster.

Prolly go undrafted and hope to make a roster.

He went downhill fast after his kids were born.

I think Landry is/will be better.

That's my point. He's not good enough to unseat someone as a rookie.

He doesn't need to start to earn a paycheck

A shame it worked out that way. I'd be on a plane to Canada if I were in his shoes. They make damn good money. Not NFL money but damn good money.

I read somewhere that Hillard would graduate this summer.

I didn't say anything about starting. I don't think he's good enough to unseat the third back.

He's barely managed that at lsu, I don't see him managing that in the NFL

Not to flame, but I kind of get the feeling that Cameron will leave as well. For some reason to me it seems that he will get a few offers from the league, Pittsburgh more certainly because Tomlinson has to fire the OC just to save his job and Cam and Big Ben would be a nice fit together. If not that, he may have a few teams looking to hire him as a HC.
