Can’t believe it’s been that long since we drafted that bum

Should we give the Saints front office a cookie for that obvious decision?

Guess this means he’s due for a 16 sack season

Honestly, 2021 is a rather lackluster draft.

That being said, would be nice to have Barmore right now

I mean we all knew that was happening. At least when Davenport was occasionally healthy and on the field he would look like a Monster. I can't think of one time i saw Turner in a play and went wow there is something.

We have now spent Three firsts (two on Davenport, one on Turner) 2 2nds Kihaha, and Foskey. and a pretty big busted contract on Junior Gullette to find a serviceable DE on the other side of Jordan and we keep whiffing.

So, a logical conclusion to this is that he would be a real threat to being cut during camp.

I'm not convinced that this front office would be willing to admit its error though and would probably keep him on the roster just to not have to answer the questions.

No doubt, he needs to be playing his arse off for milk money this season.

That was a no brainer not to pick up his 5th year

Well he declined the first several years of his contract so turnabout is fair play.

As others have said he's a waste of a 1st.
