2014 NFL - WEEK FOUR


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Didn't they have to trade Sproles for financial reasons because they were worried that they'd lose the arbitration case for Graham?  I seem to remember reading something recently about that.

 

Ah, found it.  From http://grantland.com/the-triangle/darren-sproles-philadelphia-eagles-value:

 

 

 

By the end of 2013, the Saints had to make a bet on Sproles’s future. Already over the cap heading into the offseason, New Orleans had to clear out space out of concern that an arbitrator might rule Jimmy Graham was a wide receiver, which would cost them an additional $5 million under the franchise tag. Also, the Saints wanted to use any other space they had to target star safety Jairus Byrd, who eventually signed with the team. With a cap hit of $3.5 million and the Saints unlikely to re-sign Sproles after the 2014 season, they decided to cut bait while they could. Other teams saw a player who might be past his prime and weren’t willing to take the risk by giving up more than a fifth-rounder.

Hey fucktards, would it kill you lot to not look totally incompetent on fucking offense today?

 

 

Foles getting this banged up does not leave much hope that we won't see Sanchez at some point this season.
