Saints Should Consider Re-Signing Tracy Porter

He's the "China Doll" remember?

We will always love Tracy Porter for obvious reasons, but back when he became a free agent I was fine with letting him walk for previously stated reasons. So I'm gonna add another "No" to the question.

No way. Dude mailed it in after he won the SB.

Great appreciation to Tracy Porter for two of the key interceptions of our championship season. He also is local kid from Port Allen which was always part of his appeal. I think the seizures he suffers from are starting to become an issue which most teams are afraid to deal with. Tracy like Darren Sharper are great memories of the best season in Saints history.

That head/neck injury he had was actually pretty serious business and is precisely the sort of thing that can make a guy "lose a step" and maybe never get it back. Recovering from that type of injury can also affect a player psychologically in a game of split seconds and takes a long time to heal and come back from. I absolutely do not think he was "mailing it in" or wasn't trying, or was reading too much of his own press.

Your right on SB48 and i believe Denver saw what your saying. He has done his time and the injuries are to great to overcome. Someone will need him and i hope hes in it for the love of the game and not a one more lick to an NFL team for another quick million signing bonus.
