we knew what we were getting. A top safety that has troubles staying on the field. that is why the contract shocked me.

saints need to accept Drew was the injury gift from the gods and lighting strikes twice every other generation and stop wasting money on these gambles.

I'm not sure what you are talking about with this statement. Before last season he was only inactive twice in his entire career.

2009 - Active for the first 14 games.
2010 - Active all 16 games.
2011 - Active all 16 games.
2012 - Active all 16 games.
2013 - Active for the final 11 games.

I just worry that the cumulative effect of the back injury the knee injury and the foot problems he's always battled could be too much. I hope not.

Don't forget, the back issue was not an injury. It was a minor corrective procedure. He had too small of an opening in one of his backbones which would obviously cause pain and/or numbness at times. The very common procedure enlarged the opening thus eliminating all future issues.

The knee was a torn meniscus. I have had that procedure and it heals quickly (4-6 weeks) and is never an issue again, unlike ligament tears.
