They very well might. If they do then next man up. If Penning is as horrible as some think then we must have at least three or four on the roster that should be an immediate upgrade, right?

Any chance the Saints make a bid for David Bakhtiari? I see he is still available and could be ready by beginning of season.

Isn't David a LT? If he is in fact serious about playing with an "MVP" QB as he states in the video, it's not gonna be in New Orleans.

I'm thinking he may not be able to handle STAIRS

David Bakhtiari is Persian for Michael Thomas.

Since 2020 Michael Thomas has played 22 of 69 possible regular season or playoff games.

Since 2020 David Bakhtiari has played 25 of 72 possible regular season or playoff games. All 3 seasons that the Packers made the playoffs during that stretch he was unavailable to play.

To me, the absolute worst signing a team could make is a player who possibly improves their regular season record but leaves them high and dry for the playoffs, so they get a worse draft pick but have no improvement in their actual competitiveness for a ring, and if anything have a WORSE chance because the backup who will play in January gets less reps.

Of course he now says he is finally healthy and the last 4 years were a fluke. But so does Michael Thomas. Yeah right. Vet minimum or please sign with the Falcons.

Michael Thomas. Talk about a guy that exploded on the scene then just completely disappeared. It’s insane to think about.

Football is a dangerous game. There's a reason why the average career length is only 3.3 years.

I don’t know what you were doing or watching while guys like Larry Csonka, Franco Harris, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marques Colston, (and I could go on and on) were playing the dangerous game, but Michael Thomas AINT that.
