I think the conversation has taken a wrong turn. My original comment was directed at Xan claiming he's done nothing to earn that money, which I think is false. Just because he didn't suit up on Sundays doesn't mean he didn't work his ass off all week like the rest of the team did.

The talent ahead of him is what's stopping him being activated, I can't remember who said it but earlier this week someone made a comment which I agreed with.

If a 23 year old lance Moore came into Saints camp this year, he most likely wouldn't make the team or he'd be put on the PS

Lance Moore took advantage of the situation when we only really had colston that had proven himself, tanner isn't so lucky because the first 4 or 5 spots are pretty much set in stone

There are a few caveats to consider. If you want to categorize him not playing for the Saints you are correct. If you want to ask why isn't he on an NFL roster? That has to be surmised by lacking something that 32 teams are looking for in a WR to put on their final roster.

Lots of comparing him to Lance Moore... Lance Moore is now on an active roster in Pittsburgh so I wouldn't necessarily say they are equal talents, if they were.... the Steelers could have had Tanner for a lot less than $1.5m/year.
