...And no, not saying I'd be happy with standing pat with Peat either - who'd better show up at camp and take Sean Payton to heart "in the best shape of your lives..."

Guy made the pro bowl and rated better than Peat by every site that maintains rating stats. Yet we pay Peat a boat load for being below average...

I don’t mind the Warford move, just don’t get the deal with peat.

Warford graded out decent though. Definitely overrated, but consistent average. I think it was personal.

Turned up heavy last year didn't he. I think the opinion is he is on the slide and not as invested. The cap money was needed too.

Also the Brees fumble that lost the game was partly on him. Ramczyk gets beat but has nowhere to go with Warford being mauled backwards. Think that play was when it was decided. Think they just held on to make sure they got a player in the draft hence the bonus payment

Well when you can save 7.75 million and have no drop off in production you tend to lean toward that.

3 years younger and can slide out to tackle in a emergency.

Peats get out is in 3 years. It's not as bad as people thinking imho. Overpaid. Probably but after 3 years it's a 9ml saving and 5ml Dead money hit if he doesn't step up.

We probably will be in the same boat with Peat in a few years

Nope, Peat will be gone next year, especially if we find a good swing tackle (Peat's Plus value) among the new kids...

The dead cap is 19ml next season. He's not going anywhere for at least 2(nearly 8ml season after) probably 3 years.
