Everything I read or heard was that he was going to be let go but he wasn't officially let go. Now to my point STEPHEN A. SMITH is going off as to the Saints should be penalized draft picks cause they lied to sporles to his face. His words "if you told the man you're going to let the man walk free let him walk free, but if you lied to him in his face they should be penalized".

They never told him that. the media told him he would be released. He even tweeted after the news broke that he was shocked and it was news to him.

Lmao..........tell Steven A Smith to shut the frick up........

He may have been lied too but this is the NFL and he doesn't have the rights he thinks he does considering his status with us prior to trade.

I truly don't understand the media's beef here.

Screw ESPN. As if this is the only time this happens.. and until he's released.. he's still a part of the team. It's still a business and they know this..

It's like Only New Orleans ever does any of this, or has bounties, and Brees is the only greedy 100 million dollar QB too

It's the nature of the business, and it is what it is. If the Saints can get some value for Sproles, then they will trade him, which they did. I don't understand how this is news. No one lied to anyone.

why do I take this as he's thinking it similar to something abolished in the 1800s.

Technically we did lie to him if all we told him was that we would release him, but he and his agent should know the business side of things so no sympathy.

When you listen to Stephen A. Smith, you become dumber. When you become dumber, you do dumb shite. When you do dumb shite, you do something dumb like putting your scrotum in a meat grinder. Don't put your scrotum in a meat grinder, turn off Stephen A. Smith instead.

I always think how can anyone take these guys seriously. Then I realize people really do listen to some of these tmz-like espn-ers.

Let me file this into my "who gives a shite" file. He's Philly's problem now. Thanks for your serviceable years and good luck in Philly.

so we should lose draft picks because we decided a guy had trade value instead of releasing him and getting nothing?

I honestly don't know why people watch that horrible show
