The most recent one I see mentioned are Queen, but they really wanted Ruiz to shore up the interior O-Line (hindsight is a bitch).


They created an interior OL problem by running off Warford. You don't get a pass for fixing an issue that you unnecessarily created.

Let’s not make Queen out to look like he is a stud superstar. He is still wildly inconsistent but makes a splash play here and there and people are enamored with him. Overall he is not that good to date. I am an LSU fan and we overhype him way too much.

Warford was getting older and starting to digress. We needed to move on with his cost.

They ran him off to the point he quit football? Not sure if he officially retired, but he hasn't played since he was cut by the Saints. Then "opted out for a year" after being a FA for ~3 months and no one offered him a new contract

Warford was a problem at RG. That's why we cut him.

He signed a 4 year deal with us. He was good for his 1st 2 years here. Really started to fall off about halfway through his 3rd & looked like complete arse in the playoffs. He got cut after that & never played that 4th year.

He always had a lot of bad weight, & by bad weight...I mean he was fat as shite. It didn't matter when he was younger, but it really caught up to him when he got to be in his 30's.

He wasn't a bust for us though. We got 2 and a half good years out of him, cut him, ate the dead money and moved on.

We tried to replace him Ruiz, but that hasn't exactly worked out so far. We still have Ruiz for the next 2 years, bc his 2023 cap # is the same as his dead money hit. So, he still has plenty of time to get his shite together.
