Anzalone Feels Unwanted

Alex is a great guy who, in my opinion, got schitty orthopedic care at Florida, and was faced with a stunted NFL development while he finally got the care he actually needed...

There's two dynamics that I see here; first, he wasn't fully accepted by his teammates, and second, he was on a short chain after the team invested so heavily in getting him healthy...

Those are almost always the two strikes that make a guy want to move on from a team; NFL players I've been friendly with, or their sons in some cases, have shared this with me consistently...

Can't say I know Alex that well, but he struck me as a fun loving guy wanting to fit in and play football; and for whatever reasons, he never fit in with these Saints...

Wish him well. He's got a beautiful wife and baby, and I hope he can resume his career for at least the term of another contract and have a long, happy life...
