Yeah, the saints shot themselves in the foot on that one, they already announced they were releasing him so teams knew they didn't have to offer a valueable pick for him. Should have gotten at least a 4th rnd for in conference, I wouldn't be too disappointed with a 5th rounder if he was going to the afc.

Chiefs lost McCluster a few days ago. This is the only FA business with the Griefs I'm not happy about so far.

I just really don't understand their lack of willingness to make him a more integral part of the offense, so I guess it's just as well he left.

I have a feeling this was a favor to Sproles. We probably could've sent him to some dumpster fire team for a higher pick. I know the Redskins were seriously inquiring about him as well, among other teams. Not sure how much higher than a 5th we could expect though for a 30 year old RB who appeared to slow down last year.

He should be happy in that offense up there. Gonna miss you Sprolesy

Great player, great teammate.

It's going to be the Khiry Robinson show next year for the Saints.

As for his wife -

Sproles' wife is just like the way she appeared in that post. You should've seen the way she's treated their daughters daycare teachers.

How embarrassing to be a celebrity and married to someone like that. No class.

Eh it sucks, but I am not losing sleep over it. We can find another receiver to drop catchable balls that won't cost us over 6m a year. We do need another WR, but with Harvin and Baldwin I feel like thats a decent core for the type of offense we play.
Speaking of guys perfectly capable of dropping catchable balls, sounds like Jermichael Finley is a passed physical away from becoming a 'Hawk. Wonder where that is going to leave Zach Miller, who I think was much more valuable to the 'Hawks than what the stat-sheet showed, but looks like he is going to be in a "renegotiate your deal or get cut" situation.

Yeah not sure how I feel about that. I agree with you Zach was much more important than the stat sheet shows. We'll see how it goes

Sean Payton now following Steve Smith on twitter. Probably nothing. Probably...

edit: this didn't just happen, I guess he's been following him. So 99% sure it's nothing.

When you can pay a 31 year old back up quarterback who looks like Jesus 4M a year to be terrible you kind of have to do it right? It's a law I think.

Yeah, the saints can't even afford to get steve smith at the veteran minimum.

I dunno, I doubt Sproles could have gotten something better than 1 year/3.4 million on the open market. At least not from a playoff team. 31 year old RB who is in apparent decline is not a hot commodity.

DeAngelo telling Sherman he needs to play against good players is lol. Ok Redskin. Guess San Francisco and Denver are chumps in his mind.
