Rugby Saint II

There are lots of moving parts to this story.

We don't know what AK wants yet. Does he want an extension? More money? More guarantees? How far apart are the Saints and his agent? Who's idea was it to walk out after the walk through that morning? If there was going to be a contract dispute then why didn't he attend the offseason program to familiarize himself with the new scheme?

One more question is whose fault is it that AK has had unproductive seasons under Pete Carmichael? I'm thinking that AK worked just as hard as ever, kept in fantastic shape and was criminally underused by the Saints the last couple of years.

The Saints worked hard to downplay his suspension, but it did leave the team in a tough spot to start the season without him last year. But their patience might be wearing thin now.
