I think there was a bunch of stuff going on behind the scenes with many other players and the business of the franchise to enable the Brees deal to get done. At some point they had to ask, "Who is expendable?" That question is always coupled with the question, "Who is available?" This was a calculated decision by some folk I'd rate in the genius category including Loomis and Kromer the OL coach. I don't think they wanted to keep Nicks.

I believe nicks was sore at payton or line coachs from being put on ssecond string i think he wanted out. He was a great draft pick up by payton

I don't know about any disputes but he was definitely a great draft choice. I think he was just chasing the cash.
