re: PFF Stats of Saints, Entire 2014 Season

It's clear that Galette was nearly our only source of pass rush last season.
I don't understand why we're trading him.

I'm holding out hope that we are trying to send him a strong message that these distractions won't be tolerated.

I can't see anyone we could get for him that would match his value. We have a young 10+ sack guy locked up through 2019. The one time the Saints lock a great player up early, we have this issue.

I firmly believe that the 2013 defense was awesome due mostly to the effort of Jordan and Galette.

I'll add Lewis to that too. I really think we should give Wilfork a look at a 2 year deal if it is favorable ~$4-5 million/year. We would instantly get better against the run, could spell him with Jenkins, and it would give us an interior push + depth on the dline. Hell. we would have had 5+ sacks in the 1st atlanta game if we had any interior presence. We were destroying them off the edge only to have Matt Ryan able to step up in a clean pocket

I'm sure he'll get a nice contract somewhere though with his name despite his age
