Payton balls when he plays. But he barely plays. He was having a monster of a game the last time I saw him. Then gets injured after he makes an excellent play.

Saints whining because they don't have a double digit sack leader boo-hoo. They were 5th in sacks somethings working. Pass coverage and interior dline play took the biggest hit which all effect the pass rush. Just like all ints aren't players making a play on the ball all sacks aren't a guy just dominating their man in front of them. But let you guys tell it he did nothing. Same guys screaming Payton needs to leave same guys screamed to not resign Marcus Williams same guys fell in love with Adebo after that avg rookie season. Same guys who are ok with trading up for olave and he drops critical passes. Same guys screaming trade AK Demario and Cam. Marcus Davenport injuries have held him back no question the guy can play though if not wi5h the Saints someone else will sign him. Wish him the best. Trey Hendrickson can't stop the run that's why they didn't pay him he's a 3 down DE who CANT maintain the edge and couldn't get one of those lovely sacks against James Hurst...not impressed

I want to like Davenport. He is an absolute physical freak but his production doesn't mirror that. If we were to resign him it should be for a contrac matching his production not his potential because that is something we might never see.

He is however a guy that could easily go to another team, stay healthy and have 17 sacks in a year. That is the gamble here.

I was so impressed with Marcus Davenport's physicality that I told everyone we would forget about the two number one draft picks. Well, I was wrong and I'm eating crow. I'd rather have roasted falcon.

Still scratching my head how they kept Davenport and let Hendrickson walk...

I would low ball Davenport on a contract and add incentives. He knows he hasn't set the world on fire

Yeah that would probably be my strategy too. He needs to produce to get paid or just get out and let somebody hungrier take his place.

The fact that Carl Granderson consistently outperforms Davenport, just like Hendrickson did, speaks volumes.

Another undrafted free agent producing volumes for the New Orleans Saints. When you throw away draft picks like we do you definitely need to hit on those undrafted free agents.
