I got downvoted in a thread for saying he wouldn't make the team, if he made it through camp. lol

You'd have been wrong for the reasons why he didn't make the team. Glad some of you are thinking about me on a Sunday afternoon.

I knew the moment that trade went down that we flushed a late pick down the toilet.


With hindsight, no one is ever wrong.

I mean I'm not mad at the Saints for trying to get a talent (2nd round pick) for not much (some late round picks), but I expected the dude to maybe try to get through camp first, not just flat out retire.

But in a way it's good because it's one less player taking snaps who doesn't want to be there.

Yea, better for him to hang it up now then a couple days before regular season. If he even made the team. More reps for guys like Lance & Brown.

I tried to tell some of you here that there was a reason that NE traded him for a bag of balls…….

Some posters in here (as well as some of the local media) were sucking this dude off all offseason

He missed practice for personal reasons before he decided to retire on his own accord. Nothing bad was said about him or his play leading up to this happening.

Its weird that some of you are taking this as a win when we just lost a piece of WR depth.

Olave/ Tyson have past injury issues, Tipton is on PUP list, and Polk retiring wasn't because of bad play.

Weird arse people.

consider this:
24 years old
6mil in career earnings (lets say if you did it right, take home of 3mil)


sometimes guys just don't have that dog in em to fight anymore if they're a fringe player.

This has to be something mental health related, no way his shoulder was so bad he couldn't keep playing.

Not really. Probably as simple as it's not working out and it's just not in him anymore.


He was looking really good throught otas and the first couple days of camp. He was likely to make the roster.

He had some juice.

Lol is that the guy who has the horrendous take thinking Polk would be a somebody? I knew the moment that trade went down that we flushed a late pick down the toilet. WR needy teams don’t dump good young WRs for late picks.



Stupid opinion.

I hope the Saints keep doing things like this. A late round pick swap for a 2nd round pick that was injured? That is a savvy move.

It didn't work out, but taking swings like that is very smart business
