But what about Greer? Last year under Ryan, the Saints D finally solidified, and Greer was great at locking down the opposing team's #1 receiver. I don't see any reason why he can't come back now and handle their #2's.




I hate to do this, but:





He's done man. And hes older. 32 years old with a brutal knee injury. He isnt a 2nd corner anymore man. Sad but true

The only reason to be upset about these cuts is loyalty to the players. I agree that all of then have been huge for this team, but Sproles and Moore are done. They've had great careers and have been money for this team, but there's a reason this offense struggled last year. We have to get an infusion of young playmakers. The old has to make way for the new. We finally have a good enough defense to draft offense this year. We can't hold on to old playmakers who can't make the plays this offense needs.
Greer is obvious. I knew after the injury that his time on the saints was done. You don't come back from an injury like that at 32 years of age. He played well last year, but he won't be able to come back from that injury.
PT is the only guy on the chopping block who can still make plays for this team. But it's a business. We can get a RB in the third for 1/3 of his price who could provide just as much production. It's really not that hard of a decision.
