Best of luck to DLP, but he won't be hard to replace.

I think we can find a good C in the 3rd round.

he was an unrestricted free agent, has no effect on our cap

Wow....he took a backup job. I didn't expect that. That means there was no interest at all from the Saints. I actually thought he might be drawing interest from someone. Regardless, we can get better at that position.

It's not just a Saints opinion. He is headed to his sixth team and isn't expected to start.

The o-line seems to puzzle some fans, they think DLP is a keeper and Grubs is horrible.

I've been in seemingly hundreds of disagreements with people about just that. So many people just don't get it. If they don't see a guy giving up 3 sacks a game, they assume he must be alright. I do think Grubbs can play better, but he's not horrible and I think a little help would do him some good.

I believe the old saying "actions speak louder than words" applies to DLP quite well.

It's also proof that PFF grades can be misleading.
