Smith
Harper
Jenkins
Vilma
Greer
(Haralson too)

Now granted, it's likely most if not all of these players would have been back ups or role players, but you get rid of that many leaders in 1 season it's going to take time get that back.
Agree. And on top of that you teplace them with the likes of Junior Galette. What a trainwreck that was.

When Galette was racking up 12 sacks in 2013 everyone thought he was the next great Saint. It turned out, to everyone's surprise, he was damaged goods. It was too late to reverse field. The Saints could either keep him and his salary on board, complete with his ever growing locker room cancer and ever shrinking public image. The Saints did all that they could do by cutting him and eating the dead cap.
