Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Its hard to sell off much at the trade deadline when we have already given most players their paychecks in advance through restructuring. Its not a bug deal not to trade Chase Young because we could get a comp pick anyway if he walks in free agency, and if we can get him a few sacks that pick could be better. Had we not extended Kamara we could have traded him, but whats done is done.

As for Lattimore’s trade being ‘in the works since december’ it was never real until it happened. Lots of things have been discussed and not happened. Kamara was not restructured until this extension after we restructured the rest of the entire roster, so a Kamara trade could have happened if not for the extension. Maybe we would have moved Adebo or Olave if not for the injuries.

I don't think you truly understand Kamara. The guy doesn't live his life off a paycheck. If he says he'd retire before playing outside of New Orleans most everyone that does understand believed he meant what he said. Everything isn't as cut and dry as you always seem to imply. Believe it or not some people have personal value that greatly outweigh monetary values. I know I have passed up on opportunity that didn't align with what I felt was best for my personal philosophies.

We have a difference of opinion. You believe Kamara truly would not play anywhere else, even say Denver with Payton or Tennessee where he went to college. I believe his whole ‘i live nola’ thing was an act to get paid the Cam Jordan rate in his twilight years. You respect Kamara as a nostalgic heart, I respect him as a business man who negotiated a 150% premium.

No. I respect him as an honest person who doesn't fit the norm. You appear to be a person that sees nothing beyond the almighty dollar. Believe it or not many of us have moral compasses that guide our decisions.

Wonder why you rub me so wrong. Hmm?

So do you believe everyone who uses a negotiating tactic is dishonest and has no moral compass? I have never said that Kamara is a bad person or dishonest. I just believe he saw Cameron Jordan get a big payday and he decided that his kids need to eat too so he followed Cam's playbook. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
