They're in a situation where they had to make the moves. Sproles played in only 30% of Saints plays this year. Graham played 78% snaps as a wideout, not a TE. That means he is entitled to WR money. That's 10 million more a year. Mark Ingram will now be a feature back and really, Drew can make a couple 5th and 6th round WR's very special players. Never been a fan of Thomas. Never will be that 1000 yard rusher. Lance Moore had one exceptional year and has been an avg #4 WR behind Graham, Colston and stills.
Nobody will rush for 1k on the Saints O. Too much of a shared load and wrong scheme. Wherever he lands he will be an impact player.
Saints just resigned Pierre Thomas and probably signed the best defensive player in free agency yesterday in Byrd. GM loomis is a genius at making contracts fit the cap.
