Well, Mike isn't underperforming, he's just been injured ... a LOT.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

So, the Saints have added two more linebackers. One to the active roster and one to the practice squad. I guess they're trying to evaluate as many linebackers as possible. They may need to let Ellis walk if he wants too much money. Or if they're cleaning house they could feasibly let DeMario Davis go. I don't want to see that but it would be one way to save money this off season. It seems like we always cut good players to save money.

Or they need players for special teams since several have gone to injury. But, I believe we seldom cut players to save money. We sometimes do not re-sign a player that is wanting more money than they feel they are worth. There's a difference.

When the covid pandemic caught up to the Saints they weren't allowed to follow the usual salary cap increase accounting method we've followed lately. I believe that you're we lost a lot of valuable talent because we couldn't afford to keep them. Which is my point. We lose players that we can't afford to keep and quite often it's because of the never ending contract extensions.

Yes, the COVID cap hit everyone hard. But, we had the space to sign each of those players that left so it wasn't that we couldn't afford them, but that we decided we didn't want to keep them for that price. That's what I was trying to stress. It's like that $50,000 car that you can afford, but you know you don't need because the $35,000 one, although not as fancy, allows you to have that extra budget to use in some other way ... like a trip to Europe.

An upgrade from TSmith is needed and necessary.
