Saints Will Not Pick Up Eli Apples 5th Year Option

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; He's not worth every penny of the fifth year option. However, he may be worth more than this years salary next year if he continues to improve. If not then renegotiate or move on....

The script the NFL is writing will make or break the teams of their choice.

I hope he tries to earn the big deal. I fear he may go the Bosa route. Quit on the team with an "injury" and hope some stupid team pays him next year.

Can’t understand why this would shock anyone. He’s not worth 6 million so he sure as heck ain’t worth 14. I’m sure a long term will be in place soon.

Re: Saints Will Not Pick Up Eli Apples 5th Year Option

Apple frustrated me last year with all the blatant pass interference penalties. I was 100% positive he was going to draw one in the playoffs that would cost us.

There were times where he played well, but he was inconsistent. One game he would play well, the next game he'd be a penalty magnet. He also had those few games where he got shredded. When we played Dallas, Prescott was constantly targeting him and burning him. Same thing happened in the Steelers game with Big Ben often targeting whatever receiver he was covering.

I wanted Patrick Peterson last year instead of Apple.

I mean you aren't wrong, but Lattimore got shredded vs Amari Cooper in the Dallas game and he also looked like a high school player in week 1 vs Evans.

If lattimore looked like a high school player week one, then crawley was on the middle school level the whole year. But that dallas game the pass rush couldnt get to prescott and the defense was on the field way too long with the offense sputtering.

Saints D sacked Dak 7 times and forced a fumble. David O, Demario and Cam played out of their mind. Zeke was held under 100 yards.

The defense was the only reason why we had a chance. I made it out to that game.
