That is a conscious decision.

It’s not water under the bridge when it is currently screwing the team. It’s certainly not your job to dictate to others what topics are under the bridge. An injury to a player (like Davenport) is understandable. Even though I have frequently dissed on his selection I have no doubt he has/is doing what he can to get on the field. That claim can not be made of Thomas. By some accounts he did what he could to avoid playing. The team is currently deciding if there is anything that can be done to help clear up the mess he helped make. His (Rugby) thoughts are relevant and timely.

I'm not a medical expert, but everything about the full timeline of MT's injury screams to me that the diagnosis of the injury was done wrong in the first place. I bet this was far more than a garden variety high ankle sprain. Must have been some other major damage, or the sprain was so severe it really required a different approach/timetable/surgery from the get-go. Every setback is just fallout from the original mishandling. Who to blame for that, I don't know, but it's not wrong to wonder if person(s) should be fired or sued - on Saints or MT's side - for how badly this has gone.

Looks like the OBJ deal is dead, but I agree with Rez he could have helped us and SP would have shown him the back door with any negative drama.
Good for the Saints looking to find players that can help the team win.

Mayfield's a Punk I can remember him disrespecting Hue Jackson.

He may not play another snap in a Saints uniform

I'd argue Deonte' Harris is better than Desean J. IMO we don't need another "go", "9" route WR. Saints desperately need more legit route runners/intermediate guys.

DJax is older and has become injury-prone.

In fairness, you can’t say Jackson is more injury prone than Harris.

The money weight from that big contract is causing stress fractures.

Indeed. Thankfully this is somewhat offset for the time being by the team having low cost at QB.

So far IMO:
Kamara contract/impact is good
Thomas contract/impact bad
Lattimore “ “ is good
Peat’s is bad
Ram’s is good
Jordan‘s has been good

These are the main high dollar contracts the team has unless I’m forgetting some. Shows me that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
