Damn.

Yeah I think he is done. Can Davenport play inside though?

True but they had Brees and Jordan when Galette managed to split the locker room.

Please tell me you’re not comparing Murray to Galette

Since then we were very cautious with acquiring players and extending our guys.

Not at all, but I'm saying that losing an important locker room guy can cause a rift.

Davenport in his first season was rated very highly vs the run.

Damn.

Ansah would be an upgrade.

While I hate the fact that we will lose MI (production & chemistry with AK), it makes too much financial sense with the Murray deal. When healthy, he's essentially a bigger, slightly more powerful version of MI. Paying 7,8M per season appears to be simply out of the question for a RB in New Orleans.

Trust the process.

No doubt however I question his availability. He's been hurt quite a bit.

I think losing a guy has more of an impact when the replacement isn’t as good. Murray hasn’t shown once to be a problem in any locker room. He’ll replace Marks stats. We’ll be able to pay CGM and invest in the rest of the team.
