But do you remember him being lazy and took plays off while in New Orleans? IIRC he wanted to play 5 tech & be the star but with Cam J in NO, that wasn't happening. Even Belichick didn't think he was worth keeping around in NE either.

But good for Akiem. It took him 5 years and 3 different teams before the light came on.

Not saying cutting him wasn’t the right call, some players need to be cut or traded to wake up and play to their potential. I just eee that far to often with former Saint players. We get rid of them and the end up being pro bowl players a year later...

Paytons' posse is gone. We've got real positional coaches now who know how to teach skills. Look how well our rookie class did last year.
