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

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.
