After reading these comments, he should have several teams looking to sign him.

Stinchcomb is a smart guy, he'll figure it out.
He may not even want to go play elsewhere.
Either way, we wish him all the best.
Thanks for everything you've done for this organization and this city.
Hope you have gotten some love in return.

I suspect he hasn't recovered from last season's injury; and that is affecting his game...

Maverick2299 · 08-16-2011, 08:39 AM

Or he is afraid to get hurt like that again.

Class act. He played some good ball for us over the years and helped us win a Super Bowl. Best of luck to Jon.

I too think that he hasn't quite recovered from what seemingly was much worse of an injury than was described last year. That coupled with the fact that you have two young linemen in Strief and Brown fighting for the same spot.

As some have already mentioned, I think these factors along with Mickey and Sean's respect for Stinch caused them to make this love right now. Payton even said it in his presser yesterday...something to the effect of moving this team in the direction of youth at this position...better for both parties to do it now, as opposed to drawing it out.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Stinch retire now. I think even he realizes that this is it for him, and he's seen his better days. He's a realist, and a good guy, and I wish him all the best.

Now come on C Brown and Strief...time to take it up a notch!!

Meant "move", not "love". typing too quickly. Apologies.....

He can afford to retire I am sure. If he wants to sign on elsewhere and work his way into the lineup then good for him. If he still wants to play then more power to him.

He aint as rich as y'all think..

beau13 · 08-17-2011, 06:12 PM

I disagree. I think he is very rich. I have had the chance to meet his family several times at charity events he holds. Money is not the only thing that makes one "rich". Class act, his commitment to the new orleans community will be missed.
