No clue. I'm just thinking with the total lack of success of supplemental prospects (how successful can we call Gordon when he can't get on the field) that it's probably wise to stay clear of it altogether. While really none of our 5th round picks under the Fisher/Snead regime has turned into a long term player for us, I still think a 5th round pick is a decent piece of real estate to either package in trade or make a selection. Again we may be able to retain Battle and next year he may kick butt and become a good player for us.

Wasn't our bid of a 5th rounder the only one? No one else even bid a 7th rounder so he's probably safe on the PS at least. He didn't make himself standout during the pre-season but didn't stink it up either. Another just wait and see......

They don't reveal picks that are after the winning pick, all you have to go off is word of mouth and conjecture.

Or you could be pleased that our other O-linemen are better than him and still he is good enough to be picked up by someone else.
I think it was worth the gamble. Sometimes you really hit on those gambles - most times you don't. If he is picked up on waivers, that just means to me that another team is more in need of O-linemen than are we.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Fisher gets Battle on the Practice Squad, another team can't pick him unless he is on the the new teams 53 man roster, right? Didn't Fisher delay announcing all of the cuts for tactical reasons?
Battle was never intended to be ready to start this year. he isn't a starter yet for anyone. I'd be very surprised if they let him leave the building without convincing him about the Rams Practice Squad

Hmmm.
They made it so you have to pay to get him off waivers.
I think that's pretty telling.

My only four Misses were Battle thinking we spent the pick and heard he was a redshirt anyway. Jones who was just getting injured and he never was able to beat that back surgery IMO. Pasat who I liked for next year after he builds up. Thought he was special . And our Old LB Dunbar who I think we saved money 1.35 savings is modest but if not resigned till after 1st week and added a special kid in Cameron Lynch who tackles and is a ST head hunter who actually wraps people up. I did'nt think Rhaney or Donnal and missed Marquez at WR. so I got 49 right. I'm excited and hope we get most back for PS like Longacre who we can mold for future. Its gonna be interesting.

.. Well done Saints and your coveted 2014 2nd round offensive tackle to be, prefer not take the time to type his entire name all out (it was easier typing nonsense with my fingers) no offense.

People thinking our FO is bad because of a 5th round potential backup who didn't pan out how they wanted him to after 58 days was released.... People need to relax. 99% chance he clears waivers and he joins the PS and has his redshirt year just like they had planned. Why is this such a massive deal?
