That’s funny rez. I looked it up and was going to say the same thing, but realized Josh Cooper and Renaldo Wynn were on the team in 2007 as DEs as well.

So, still a mistake then.

We couldn't pay him starter money to play behind "The Bill and Chuck Show," the same starter money he knew could get elsewhere. It wasn't a mistake, it was a sound financial decision.

I don't think he wanted to be here.

Take it for what it's worth, but he was a friend of a friend and supposedly did not like living in New Orleans/Louisiana.

He did well when he left, good for him.

Ninkovich seemed better suited as a 3-4 EDGE which is what he played with the Pats. He was on the smaller side. 260 pounds. Smith and Grant were 280 plus. He wasn’t a good scheme fit. And he finished with less sacks than both Grant and Smith. Definitely a good player, but he’s not one of the ones I would lose sleep over. Carl Nicks and Jamal Brown were the biggest blows post Super Bowl. Also…Sleepy Sharper.

Can you imagine back field of Reggie and AK? I it would scare the hell out of opponents. The time difference is probably too large but I can still day dream.
