Perhaps Dennis Allen is not an inspiring leader, and what players hear about Hackett in the national media is more positive. Perhaps Loomis' mismanagement of our salary cap makes us an unappealing destination as we are liable to cut or fail to retain a player to save pennies even if they do well. Perhaps our failure to reward performers and loyalty to justifying costly underperformers makes us unappealing to highly motivated players who feel they never got their due. Murray didn't want to sit behind Ingram. CGJ didn't want to make less money than Peat and Hill. Thats understandable. Time to stop coddling the Ingrams, Hills, and Peats. Coddle the CDJs, coddle the Murrays, coddle the healthy performers.

He didn't get a chance because, rightfully so, no one put him ahead of Kamara, Ingram, Washington, or Jones and the team is limited to 53. He is going somewhere else it is because Kamara and Ingram are not going away and we can still only have 53 and Murray is not our future.

Players do not care about salary cap and as a matter of fact in the Loomis can kicking system they get more guaranteed money up front in restructures. This is about a team, a state, that doesn't know when to let go. It is my humble opinion that as of today, we have held on to Mark Ingram longer than we should have... Twice.
