The Beginning Of The End: New Orleans Saints

[carolina-chuck]

I think we should rest our starters when we play the Aints. See what our 2nd string has to offer.

These guys are old yes, but they are pretty been the core other than brees. Don't worry though, brees will follow shortly. I guess I'm most surprised about sproles. I love that they have no money

[Pantherman]

These guys are old. They are going to getting cheaper talent through the draft. Doesn't mean this is the end for the Saints. They are just retooling like we are. So long as Brees is their QB. They will have a winning team each season just about.

Let me know when Graham and Colston are gone. They'll be competitive as long as they have those two and that OL.

[PandaPancake]

you see, jimmy, when your "selfless" leader demands to be the highest paid QB in the league and is so adamant about it that he holds out 

 

Enough about Flacco. We're talking about the Aints

[Guest Dark Knight]

They're just cutting old players who aren't worth their salary...

Folks around here thinks that's dumb because they've been clamoring over paying SS89 over $7mil next season to put up 40 rec 500 yd 3 td.

[Semaj]

It's probably because of having to pay their franchise qb

I want to roll around in their sadness. Is that wrong?

Their window closed.

Regretfully,that is correct. However ,I look for Brees to start showing his age in the near future.

Tell that to Manning. He is 38 soon to be 39 is still going strong. So unless Brees all of a sudden gets hurt badly. He will be good to go for another good 4-5 seasons or until he decides to retire on his own.

[philp]

Its not like all these guys are 40 years old. Early 30's. Sproles still has value, that's why they want to trade if possible. And as much as I hate him, harper was a captain. Every good team wants to replace old overpriced players with cheap young talent. That's a given. But you can't necessarily replace leadership in one off-season. We can argue whether or not all of these guys were in fact leaders. They're plenty of threads about that regarding our team, especially with gross and possibly smith and wharton being gone (imo, smith will be here).

prepare yourself for a 12 page report by Phalice, complete with statistics and pie charts, showing how each of these moves will lead to the Taints being the best team in the history of the NFL.

Malcolm Jenkins tweeted that Pierre Thomas was also cut.  There screen game is gone.  that was their biggest strength.  Thomas was also their best pass blocker.
