Stills was one of my favorite players on the team the past two years. I still am a little upset about the trade.

Conspiracy Theory 1: Was a trouble maker and locker room problem.

Conspiracy Theory 2: Is a homosexual and CSP knew he was about to come out and have the Michael Sam treatment at the Saint's facility so he traded him so he didn't have to deal with it. And Miami needed the goodwill after the Jonathan Martin situation.

Conspiracy Theory 3: He was outperforming his contract and we would likely be in a position to have to renegotiate next year and wouldn't have the cap space and wouldn't have the bargaining power in a trade we had this year.

Conspiracy Theory 4: CSP wants this to be a running team, so he took all of Drew's toys away.

Conspiracy Theory 5: oncelurker touches himself at night.

Locker room stuff possibly. I think more it was a front office philosophical change. Sumpin like "Goddammit I'm tired of no defense."

I liked his production but think Ellerbe and PJ Williams provides more of what the team needs to win.

I love the upside to Ellerbe (and cheap too). He wasn't used effectively in Miami and was plagued with injury. Prior to that the Ravens wanted him to replace Ray Lewis but refused to overpay like the Fins did to get him (5yr/$35mil).

Heard he's a party animal. Not much you can do for a guy who shows up for a noon game and did not get a blink of sleep that Saturday night. Brees knew. CSP knows. The team knew and that shite can not be tolerated. That is why we got rid of Stills. He is a good player no doubt, but staying out and up all night the day before a game is a pretty good reason for the Saints to move on. I would not say he is a trouble maker just has some growing up to do.

What I have heard was a little bit of a combination of these two. I heard it as a rumor and haven't accepted it as gospel, but I HAVE accepted it as possible truth. And Jimmy Graham was somewhat involved in the same rumor.

He had clashes, and was believed to be a bad influence. I do not know if he was considered a locker room problem, but he rubbed people the wrong way.

This is absolutely true and he was vocal about wanting to get paid.
