Perhaps, but I've seen a couple posts about his flakiness and lack of focus that displeased Drew Brees.

I think these offensive moves are all about what Drew wants and what will give him the best opportunity to play at a high level for a few extra years.

As per a Source close to the Saints, Drew Brees was not happy with either Ben Grubbs or Kenny Stills as the season came to its end, no coincidence that neither are still here.

Has anyone heard anything out of Brees on the Grubbs, Stills and Spiller moves?

We were quick to hear on the Graham trade, but I haven't heard anything on the rest...

Only thing I've read is that Brees wasn't happy with their performance last year.

I say, yes, Brees wanted Jimmy gone. There was something between them last year.

It looked as if Jimmy intentionally didn't make plays on the ball a couple times and just looked at Brees like, take that. Something was going on between them, my brother and I thought, all year and now, bam a trade.

Like what Loomis said about trading an offensive asset (now, instead of getting nothing for him someday) to "fix" the defense. Of course, that implied the extra 1st rounder was to be spent on defense (I hope).

A lot of us said the same, plays that you'd see other players laying out to make a catch, Jimmy would give a half hearted attempt to catch the pass and it would end up getting picked.

The pick 6 vs Cleveland is a perfect example, not only did Jimmy look lazy trying to make the catch, he just stood there whilst the Brown's ran it back for a TD.
