They must have forgotten we paid Peat. That’s the real atrocity here.

Yea i kind of agree. Plus its only a 1 yr extension for Taysom. Not like they couldnt move on from it if they had to

Peat at least starts. He's an overpaid young starter. Taysom being paid a premium for backup QB/10 play swiss army knife/great special teamer.

Taysom gets it done. He has proven time and time again he is worth the money he got.

Taysom won us as many games last year as Kamara did

I like Taysom but that's asinine. If he becomes the starting QB and he's good then he'll have proven he's worth that. He averaged 24 yards and just under .5 TD per game last season. Even in the playoff game where he was the only thing working he got 75 yds and 1 TD. That ain't 8 figure production.

Well that too but Kamara is just as valuable as Taysom.

Taysom only had more receiving TD’s than odell Beckham last year.

So did Trequan. Odell not catching TDs doesn't raise everybody's value.

Was also our best player in the playoff loss

Agreed but that's one game. Willie Jackson had a 3 TD playoff game once.

And virtually unstoppable on third and fourth and short.

Great short yardage back for 8 figures?

Not to mention his value as a decoy and blocker and scheme breaker when he can lineup at 4 different positions.


Yeah. If he was making about 5 mil less it'd be a great value.

Remember that play where Taysom pulled up short of a first down and just stepped out of bounds.

Oh wait, that was Kamara.

Well taysom doesn’t run out of bounds when no one is within 5 yards of him like the cowering kamara does. AK does not want to be hit.

My apologies. I didn't see your post. Please excuse my redundant comment.

Disagree. We won multiple games last year because of him. The only reason we even stayed in the wild card game was Taysom.

Ok genius, let's cut AK and start your beloved Taysom at RB1. Glad you're not coaching the team.

Agreed. He may have limited touches, but when those touches go for first downs or TDs, he's well worth the money.

Not to mention how well his hands have improved as a receiver.

Taysom was easily our MVP in the last Saints game that many of us will watch. Dude deserves to be paid and if the Saints has used him more they would have won.

You say this but I would bet he would be pretty solid. Fast, powerful, and can catch.
