Kenny Vaccaro expected to leave New Orleans in free agency

Garry42 · 02-28-2018, 10:09 AM

I had high hopes when he was drafted, but has never lived up to expectations. My biggest issue with him has always been how undisciplined he plays. I don't see this creating a big hole in the defence at all.
If he doesn't return, I wish him all the best!

Here's the thing about the recent history of the strong safety position with during Payton's tenure with the Saints...

We spent a second round pick on Roman Harper, an obvious liability in coverage to other teams except the Saints coaches...

SO then we spent a first round pick on Kenny Vaccaro who tested with high benchmarks, but had to medicate to focus and play disciplined...

Now, I could believe that Ireland probably will do a better job selecting a strong safety, but I'm of the belief we'd do better signing a proven free agent...

But I thought the three-safety secondary of Williams-Bell-Bush/Banjo played well enough, and would be better with a better PASS RUSH...

'bout damn time. He single handedly was the reason for a couple losses.

Yeah Vaccaro and not having Luke McCown for a back up QB cost us the Super Bowl!!

Edit: What the hell? Why aren’t tweets copying and pasting like they used to? Anyway, they’re basically saying that Vaccaro will not be offered a new deal and he’s moving on.

I don’t don’t doubt KV played to the best of his ability. The problem is his ability.

Most of us could see this one coming a mile away. For where Kenny was drafted, he has been a very underwhelming player.

Wise move by the Saints FO to let Vacarro walk.
