Couldn’t sign him if I remember correctly, we were in Cap hell from MT, Drew, contracts and others along with dead money deals.

We had 60 million reasons why we couldn't keep him.

We are always in cap hell. They chose to allocate funds to other players like Peat.

I’ll also add that I thought the right move at the time was to franchise him for one year. And either keep him or trade him for a 2nd.,

Wasn’t he a FA the year after Covid when the salary cap went DOWN by $10-15 million?

I don’t understand why the morons on this board cannot get it through their thick skulls. We COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY HIM WHAT HE WAS WORTH!!!

Anyone with half a fricking brain knew that we had no chance. My 13 year old knew that his last game that season was his last game as a Saint. And he understood why. You frickers are straight up tards.

This was one of the stupidest moves Saints have ever made keeping Big Bust Davenport and letting Henrickson go

Hendrickson was a free agent. Davenport was not. What part don’t you understand?

And Goat, they could have found a way to keep him if they really wanted!! It was all about Davenport. They couldn’t admit how they fricking missed on Davenport giving up 8 first round picks for him or was it 9?

They just said he’s been top 3 player in pressures since he left the saints. He was a sack or two away from leading the entire league in sacks with us that last year.

Like I said at the time, he shoulda at worse been franchised.

We haven’t had anyone rush the passer like him since he left and blew 3 first round picks trying to obtain his production

Definitely could have should have franchised him. Saints just couldn’t admit they fricked up with Davenport.

Would you have offered an exclusive on non-exclusive franchise? Not that it matters. You only keep him one year. Then what? We were cap fricked for the next season anyway. It ain’t that they thought Davenport was a better player. Sometimes you just have to eat your fricking mistakes. Brees and MT contracts had the Saints in a bind. A franchise gets you one year. There’s a reason GM’s are hesitant to apply the tag. It made no sense. What would that one year have gotten us? He would have been gone the next year.
