I wouldn't have been giving him a big paid contract after this year anyway. RB is pretty easy to get players in. Why pay big money for a man just about to enter his 30s. Get soneone young,hungry and cheap with luttle wear on them

The league doesn’t disclose what triggered the positive test. Players say it was Adderall when often times it’s steroids (which is rumored to be the case with Vaccaro.)

Where exactly is that rumored? I have searched and cannot find any mention of that.

Well, y'all know where I stand on Ingram - that said, ALL men should be afforded due process - even if Herr Goodell believes he's omnipotent...

Let the appeal play out and then let Mark Ingram's advisers prepare the press release and let MI himself explain the circumstances...

Just a guess.... you love that we moved up for him and that he took 4 years to learn how to play?

Clearly not on B&G. Funny how many members suddenly come out of the woodwork to quickly lay blame whenever any negative news surfaces concerning the Saints. But, to be honest, I see it happen the same way on other team's forums, as well. Some people just enjoy thinking the worst. I never could understand that concept. It seems so counterproductive.

Oh, and to your point, once "due process" was allowed to complete in the performance pool case all players were cleared of any wrong doing by Paul Tagliabue at which time Vilma dropped his suit against the league.

Agreed. I have brought up that very point on other occasions.

This is unfortunately just part of the NFL. All players especially older ones are doing some form of PED. There's too much $ in it.
