It has to do with you stating PT was deep into the injury category.

I'm not interested in Sproles at all. We need a fourth RB and a KR/PR. Give Hamilton and Gable a chance to earn that fourth spot. Give Gable and Galatas (and maybe bring back Larry Beavers) a chance to compete for the KR/PR spot. Save a lot of money and don't go after Sproles. We still have to take care of Brees and Nicks and Colston is a free agent next year.

Yes, we do. He had to have ankle surgery. Was that part of faking it too?

Payton ridiculed the reports that stated he thought PT was tanking it.

I can't help but think maybe either our strength and conditioning coaches or the schemes Payton runs has alot to do with our injuries. A couple years ago it was corners, last year running backs, its bizzarre.

I do not think signing Sproles will have any bearing on PT what so ever. If anyone is to get traded/released it will be Hamilton. Also I see Ivory on the PUP list anyhow, so if we trade PT that would leave Ingram, Sproles, and Hamilton. I would be worried about that scenario. It will likely be P.T. Ingram, Ivory, Sproles. They possibly even keep Hamilton if Ivory goes IR or PUP.

I think Sproles goes elsewhere for more touches and more money though.
