But they set themselves up for a perfect storm this season with a massive cap number and no way to unload him when trouble popped up.
That deal is good for the Saints. We've been burnt too many times by not locking up our best players until their contract expired.
He's absolutely worth more than his average salary on the open market IMO. Even with the legal trouble, he's still one of the better value guys on the team and was our best player on defense last year (due to Keenan's injuries)

I think he's speaking more from the fact we can't outright cut him because of the way it's setup. Our options are keep him and convert his bonus (which was fully the intention before all the mess) or trade him.
So if we can't trade him we are stuck with him for another 2-3 years with him knowing we didn't want him and us not wanting him.
And that fact, all with his legal issues and possible suspension, means we likely will get poor trade value.
