This past season there was reason, though. There is no doubt he has been a huge part of our success, but now his return on investment doesn't support his return. Above all, the NFL is a business.

I could not disagree more with this comment.

He's been injury plague the last couple years (I know since I had him on my fantasy team and it killed me) still think it was a shady move that could of been avoided by trimming some dead fat on defense

A few days ago: Sean Payton states lack of player leadership was an issue in 2014

Today: Release and look to trade the leaders we have

I think people are confusing tenure and stats with leadership.

I clearly remember reading about a rift in the locker room last year that involved PT, Jimmy Graham, Galette and now maybe I'm thinking Lofton too...?

Well Gallette has shown time and time again he had no business being a captain, he couldn't keep his mouth shut on twitter and the legal BS could of been the last straw with Payton. I really hope they find a way to move on from him and I like Gallette (the player).

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats take him if they dont re-sign Vereen

Re: Pierre Thomas released...

So many good memories of PT, mostly him getting our team going after sluggish starts.

Super bowl 44, the colts could not tackle PT with one player, at one point in the first half 3 players hit him and managed to stay on his feet for another 8 yards afterwards.

2011 NFCCG vs lions - Lions pretty much whooped us the entire first quarter until we started throwing screens to PT, who once again bounced off every tackler the lions could throw at him. One screen play looked like it would lose 3 yards but PT dodged 5 players and got 15 yards from it.
