Saints at Raiders Wednesday Injury Report

I love Davenport’s ability when he does play but I’ll never understand why we felt the need to make that investment in him. Super raw coming out of college, showed up to training camp in year two out of shape because he was battling mental health issues, now he’s not playing yet in year three.

But where is he going to be the rest of his career? He may end up as a Saints great. Let's let this play out.

He certainly still has time. However, after this season we have to decide if we’ll pick up his fifth year option and at this rate we definitely will not. That’s a bad look for a guy we traded up for.

You may not pick it up at this point, but I have a feeling they have more confidence in him and would.

Unless Pride, refusing to admit it was a bad draft move, gets into the machinations of that decision...

Which it very well may. Of course, that may not be known yet by the time the decision is to be made. Watch us let him go after four years and he goes elsewhere and becomes a HOF DE.

I can just hear the griping around here already.

I hear this opinion a lot when someone doesn't like a player and I find it interesting. I heard this also most recently about Tre Quan. A lot of our picks are starters for other teams right now. Where was the pride ,and ego then? Rattling off the top of my head Cooks, Stills, Hicks, I'm sure there are more. IMO if they're still here, there's a reason and it's probably not "well, I drafted him so high, I would look bad letting him go"

Nope. For Payton, especially the last few years, it's pride, pride in his legacy...
