PT's future as a saint

Who cares? We all like him because his name is Pierre which fits with our NOLA culture and he was an unlikely underdog, but facts are facts. He is a very replaceable back, and wants feature back money, there is only one way this can really play out. I say Ivory is showing more promise than Pierre did in that point of their careers so lets just let him go. Money not spent on Pierre means more money spent on Reggie, another back who will demand top money. I can stomach paying Reggie at this point and letting Pierre go. I will always be greatful for what he contributed, but he is a plug and play type of guy and very very replaceable.

The thing about Bush is, at least I think is, he's not a FA next year, he is just scheduled to have a MAJOR increase in pay. Meaning he would need to restructure I believe. The money we save by letting Thomas go, I'm sure will go to re-sign Brees. Something that has really got me worried. I really hoped they would have already gotten Drew in a long term deal by now.

As long as he can make a full recovery from the shoulder injury they are gonna reveal that he has had all year.

Unless someone has footage of PT skateboarding on his bum ankle, I see no reason to jettison him

Anyone else notice 3 and 1 and 4th and short is not a problem this year?

Good Eye!
