Will be curious to see if Sorensen is moved to SS (he's accustomed to playing FS) of if Gardner is moved to SS and we sign or draft a NB...

That happens more than we care to admit and probably more than than a mid career player floundering somewhere else comes to New Orleans and flourishes.

Just shows Payton made the exact same mistake twice.

He said he let Jenkins go too early and said it was the biggest mistake of his career. Yet he let it happen again with a player just entering his prime.

IDK, in the Bengals' games I've seen, Bell hasn't exactly flashed as a game-changer. A solid player, but not a star.

You can't keep everyone. And when you draft talented players, sometimes you lose them. Sometimes that player wants to be somewhere else too. They can't all be perfect decisions.

So true. And this happens regardless of what strategy is used in cap management.

Is this the circle of life I keep hearing about?

I thought Rob Ninikovich was his biggest blunder ?!?

That’s true diz, but Vacarro was a high drafted safety he let go as well and that was the right move. It’s a tough choice.
