Really nothing in this article that shows a clear and concise reason for these moves.

Saints felt his play dropped off, but he ranked 8th in the league.
Saints felt he wasn't in shape, but chose to keep a guy that never plays a full season.
That said, I don't mind moving on from Warford with Ruiz because it does put more speed on the line, which is critical.

Still don't understand the large contract for Peat.
- Never plays a full season, always hurt.
- When he is healthy he never grades out well on PFF, usually ranked behind backups.
- Opposing teams specifically target him in their game plans.
- Offensive numbers are better when he doesn't play.
So with all of the above, let's pay the guy like a top 10 OG....

The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
