we have let some guys go that got career contracts: Fujita, Watson, Kelemete, Nicks, Mills, Bentley... but when have we let a superstar walk?

Mark Ingram perhaps? IMO he was the constant heart beat for our team.

Considering we low-balled him I think there had to be something more to it.
We decided he wasn't worth $5 million a year, which is hard to believe

ps- he is not a superstar

Fair enough but he was under appreciated by a ton of fans in New Orleans ... especially when the losing started.

Not me though.
