Yes his 8-10 million a year contract has been a huge waste of money on a sub par talent. I can not wait to trade him away

Why aren't you spitting on Loomis for only paying Sharper $1.7 million last year? Yet you have no problem throwing Reggie under the bus cuz Loomis & Payton decided to let Reggie continue with his contract.

If performance/stat based contracts are all you look at, you should be foaming at the mouth that that this past year the Saints paid Leigh Torrence $1,015,200 and LS Jason Kyle $870K, but only paid Courtney Roby $535K, Thomas Moorestead $475, Pierre Thomas $465K, Tracy Porter $460K, and Carl Nicks $389K. You obviously know how to spend the Saints' money better than they do, so where is your outrage here?

Reggie has sub par talent? GTFO. You had to have meant "subpar rushing production". But even if you meant that, Reggie is the single most accounted-for player a defense faces when playing the Saints. Anytime Reggie steps on the field, the defense knows he is the Saints most lethal threat for getting a first down or TD. Whether or not it's true, whether or not it's justified, or whether or not it shows up on the stat sheet, defenses thinks he is the most lethal, which makes that perception true.It makes Reggie's mere presence invaluable.

Bottomline: the Saints divided up the salary cap dollars amongst 53 players and one of them they paid $7 million for being a defensively-perceived-feared-weapon, and we won a Super Bowl. I don't see how a single dollar spent by the Saints this year was in anyway a "huge waste of money".
