A great WR that was passed on in the pro-bowl time and time again. He made some great highlights in his career. I hate to see him go but father time finally got him. Good luck in whatever you do. I'll remember you.

Sad day- one of my top three favs ever

To be honest I don't believe he is worth 2.5 million a year. Love him and he is one of my fav Saints of all time but he at best is our #3 WR going into next year. More than likely our #4 or 5.

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were talking about this 7th round rookie from Hofstra that was impressing everyone in training camp. Thanks for the memories #12. Gonna miss you.

He will always be one of our best. If they do let him go I think it makes the likelyhood of our first round pick being a reciever very high. Laquan Treadwell.

^Idk.

All I know is while it is sad to see the era end with him and all that nolstagia, it is for the better of the team now.

He probably could have still been a little productive but his presence limits the snaps for Coleman and Snead. They need to be on the field as much as Cooks to get more targets.

Great individual who made the others around him better.

The idea of him playing elsewhere is making me physically ill.
