How the Saints' defense became the worst in the NFL, again

Danno · 11-19-2015, 07:07 PM

Dumping Junior Galette: This one is a category all on its own because it hurt on two fronts. The former undrafted free agent developed into the Saints' top pass-rusher from 2013-14, and they signed him to a four-year, $41.5 million extension last year. But Galette became such an off-the-field headache that they cut him this summer.

It was a move the Saints had to make for the sake of their team culture and chemistry. But not only did they lose their top pass-rusher, they're also dealing with a $5.45 million salary-cap hit this year and an astounding $12.1 million hit next year in dead money.

That, in a nutshell is a huge reason why our pass rush sucks this year. That dumass cost us big time, for 2 seasons.

Galette is. He had no major issues at the time the contract was given and ,at the time, it was earned. Nobody saw the sh!t that was to come....well at least I didn't.
