Remind me again why we got rid of Ninkovich and let him go to the Patriots?

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.

Gotta disagree with you there Guido. He was only in his second year after a mediocre at best rookie year. Plus his next 2 seasons were at Miami where he played in about 8 games over the next two season. Injuries may have hampered him, but he didn’t leave the Saints for starter money after 1 season.

He got almost three times more than he was making with the Saints and was still a backup.

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.
