In 12 games in 2017 before going on injured reserve, Vaccaro had 60 tackles, seven for loss, three interceptions, 1.5 sacks, seven passes defensed and a fumble recovery.

The 15th overall pick in 2013, Vaccaro's departure is just another example of the significant defensive turnover the Saints have experienced in recent years. Suddenly, Cameron Jordan will be the only defensive player who has been with the team for more than three successive years.

He's a good player that holds value, problem is he isn't good enough and isn't valuable enough for the contract he's going to want.

Trading out Vacarro for the Honey Badger would be a nice trade off imo

We should have just traded him when teams inquired.

He's like the guys in those "You're not you when you're hungry" commercials, but switch out Snickers for Adderall.

He was a decent player for us but he couldn’t stay healthy and he was average coverage wise.


I fully expect us to sign either Mathieu or Eric Reid. Both would be an upgrade. I know Reid didn’t play that well this year but they switched him to an OLB because their DC is an idiot and they had injuries to some LBs. He was very good in 2016 when they switched him to SS.


Oh, and I hate LSU. This is one of those things where both players would make our defense better.

Mathieu is an upgrade.... Reid is, at best, the same player as Vacarro...

Could we realistically sign both?

Feel like TM32 van play anywhere and hell Reid can too

I agree with most in this thread, but before he got hit with injuries with this year he was like the 2nd or 3rd highest rated slot cover DB in the league.

Why do you hate LSU?

Its time for KV to go and agreed he will get overpaid somewhere else.

Well, I don’t hate them.



I hate the eternal, why the Saints don’t just draft LSU players all the time, debate.

good riddance. the guy willingly sat out 4 games because he was afraid to get injured before a contract coming up

Who's said he wasn't liked in the locker room? I'm not sure I buy that
