I agree with this....don't make it seem like the Saints just never tried to offer you anything and told you to kick rocks....he went to the Bucs because they offered him 4-5mil more than the Saints did plain and simple. Not saying he has to praise the Saints or allude to that... just don't S*** on the Saints to the media because YOU decided to take the highest bidder.


But thats the gift & the curse with the Saints....you turn them into superstars, or in Reggie's case a perceived one, and they lose respect for the team that made them because of their inflated ego. Reggie wanted to get paid like a RB that was better than he really was. We couldn't do it based off of his production in the system. You trade him to somewhere he can shine and get paid....then he goes to the media first chance he can get and S***s on the Saints..

Carl Nicks wants to be paid more than Evans....Saints can't give him every penny in their bank account because 1. the other guy next to you is already breaking the bank. 2. The guy your protecting, the bread & butter of the team, HAS to get paid first. We want him tho, try to make him a good fair offer. He scoffs and runs to the highest bidder. Soon as the media asks why he came to a division rival....he S***s on the Saints instead of acknowledging the fact that we did try to keep him and made him an offer any OG except himself would take.

It doesn't happen all the time with the Saints because most of these guys we've made high caliber players, especially from the lower rounds, really do appreciate playing with this team. (i.e. Marques Colston, PT, Lance Moore) Its not all about money with most of these guys. Which is nice....but sometimes you get the guys that get that big head mentality....it is what it is I guess.
