Good. Screw him.

Funny how his career has gone straight downhill after he told the fans to frick off last year,

@KennyVaccaro4: We already said what we were gonna do so get the picture or don't come.

Safety market seems REALLY soft. Of the top 101 FAs a bunch of them are Safeties.

I feel like we overpaid for Coleman now, but at the same time a healthy Coleman in 2015 and 2016 has been better than a healthy vaccaro at any point in his career. I think even 2017 injured Coleman is better than an injured vaccaro.

At first I was kind of thinking the same. I didn't think we spent stupid money on Coleman, but I thought it was on the higher end of his value.

That said, we might have been really smart on our approach with Coleman. It doesn't look like the safety market is really good, so if other teams viewed him as the best safety in FA, and possibly only safety worth pursuing on the market, he might have commanded more. e could have possibly been shopping for a less valued/less talented safety or forced to address the need in the draft.

I think we gave him a fair deal, but not a "Loomis Magic" deal like we are used to seeing.

That said, before FA I did not expect the market to be this cold with the available safeties that are still waiting for the right call. They might get lucky though. There are several teams that are going to need to spend cap to get within the minimal threshold.

I don't think it's politics so much as that he's completely undependable.

Rookie year: IR
Second year: Concussions IR
Year three: Finally finishes a season
Year four: Popped for adderall
Year five: IR with groin injury

So he has only finished one season and is a drug filled weekend with his lover Kenny Stills from being suspended a year.


It's not that surprising. Dude was benched last season...

Probably. Teams want Kenny's price down. Probably 4-5 million range. He's probably demanding 8, which ain't gonna happen. I bet Bellicheat gets him for a one year prove it deal. Then he will bitch and moan about the Saints.

Vaccaro is going to find out financially what it means to overly political on the field.

So we’re pretending that Vaccaro was st the forefront of the kneeling situation now?
I didn’t know that was a “thing” on here. All of the Saints players were pretty quite concerning political views compared to other teams.

Wasn't his statement something to the effect for the fans to "get the picture or stay home", or something like that.

An employee of a company telling off the customers. Generally works pretty well for employment security, doesn't it?

So did it hurt your feelings or did you love watching the team win?
