Can someone remind me why we let Darren Sproles go?

Because he is still contributing at a decently high level and forces defensive to be honest on screen, draws etc...

Because at his age he isn't worth the price.

They asked him to stay and take a paycut.

His wife said no.

you can't keep everyone

at some point, you have to find ways to keep your stars and that comes at a price of losing other good players

I'll take Cooks at this point. Having him wouldn't solve our problems

NFL is a business. They cut the vet for younger, more promising, cheaper player.

Pierre Thomas hasn't exactly been slumming it out there.

Just seems Sproles add a unique dimension that all those mentioned don't have.... plus his chemistry with Bree's was very high.

Because he's more valuable when you actually have the threat to run it with him.

He was the most effective in 2011 when SP let him run it and defenses couldn't key in on him. SP hindered him by being predictable and only bringing him in when we would pass to him or on 3rd downs.
