Saying his goodbyes on twitter what a shame.

So glad we aren't stockpiling lots of old overpaid guys like the aints, first will smith now roman harper, the day brees retires New Orleans will be on suicide watch for weeks.

Saints really have let there team get old and not been forward thinking, panthers and bucs prob dominate this division for years now.

Disagree. They won't miss Harper and they will be our greatest challenge to winning the division next year. As long as Brees is there........

as long as brees/payton are there they're going to compete.

 

and it isn't like any of these players contributed much to the D turnaround. cam jordan, junior gallette, kenny vaccaro (who made roman harper a backup), and keenan lewis are still all gonna be there in 2014.

 

greer has a torn ACL and wouldn't have played in 2014 anyway.

Agree these guys are vets but you need a few savvy vets on your team to help the young guys out, there cutting guys who you prob need around, not all of them but some and the only way they get below the cap is to cut them all, always they unfortunately always got a chance with Brees/Payton there, but the bucs have some nice peices in place, I believe there going to be totally transformed this season with Lovie Smith, gona be a tough year.

Poor Aints.

 

Sign me up for Greer if he's healthy.

 

I dont see how the Aints can be competitive next season. With Payton, I still dont see how. Theyre looking like the 2012 Aints again. They have problems everywhere you look at: OTs (LT/RT: Strief FA), secondary, etc.

 

With a good draft by TB, they could be the sleeper in the NFCS.

Exactly.

 

These are not just vets. They're starters. Aints will be a younger team, but you def dont want to be that young on defense when you have the offensive weapons like Carolina, Atl, and TB in your division.

 

Even with all those cuts, they're just barely under the cap. Graham will push them right back up there. They also have two guys in Strief and Malcolm Jenkins as free agents.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
