The Saints are signing wide receiver Max McCaffrey to the practice squad, a source tells Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter). McCaffrey was one of the Packers’ more surprising cuts on Saturday.
McCaffrey spent time on the Packers’ taxi squad last season and also saw some time on the 53-man roster, but he did not appear in a regular season game. He impressed in practice, however, and it was expected that the Packers would work him back on to the p-squad. That didn’t come to fruition, however, as the Saints have plucked him away.
McCaffrey, of course, is the brother of Panthers rookie running back Christian McCaffrey and the two are now joined in the NFC South.
We’re keeping track of all practice squad signings in posts that are split up by division. You’ll find the Saints’ full practice squad roster in the NFC South post when it’s announced later today or tomorrow.
Why did the saints cut Kuhn in favor of Taysom Hill? They just had 4 decent QB’s in camp. Why do we need Hill? Is he enough more than Nassib or Grayson? Guess I’d rather have anyone than him. UNLESS! They see long term potential.
Obviously this isn’t a huge transaction by any means. However, it has been time to move on from Grayson he clearly will never put it all together at least with the Saints. As for Nassib the saints only carry a third quarterback for development purposes and he isn’t ever gonna development into anything more than a poor backup. Hill didn’t have much of an opportunity this preseason but he did put up some decent numbers in his time. He was also pretty fun to watch in college and despite his age I wouldn’t mind seeing what he can on the practice squad under Payton and Brees. It’s time to move on from Grayson what a horrible pick and Kuhn will also most likely be resigned it’s a procedural move
