Gay’s ex-partner accused him of pushing her onto a couch where their 3-month-old baby slept, hurling a vacuum across the room and hanging up on police while they were being dispatched

Now that he’s a Saints, this is easily explainable. He was showing her the couch is not the appropriate place for a 3 month old to sleep. Couldn’t have been using the vacuum if the baby was sleeping; so it’s appropriate to remove it from the middle of the room. Dispatcher already did their job and had the police on the way, no need to waste any more minutes

Yeah that $3 million is really putting a damper on things. Definitely don’t want good, productive depth as an NFL team

He is a slight upgrade over Baun at a cheaper price. And, if it doesn't work, he's a free agent after the season. I'd call that a win for the FO.

It’s a good get overall. He is an elite level talent. The 2 things that held him back from earning a higher contact are character/intelligence. He’s not a Demario Davis level human. He’s a a bit of a jackass.

I thought Gay was good. Why does he only get 1 year for so little? I thought he'd have more security than that?

Seems he really wanted to get back closer to home then see where he is at for whatever reason.

I would’ve expected him to get closer to $10m. Could be the character issues. But a one year deal on a young guy means his agent sees a path to establish more value. And the contracts only get larger as the cap goes up. They may think they can challenge Werner for snaps considering his down year. Saints may have soured a little on him as it looks like he lost a step last year

good value , a little surprising, back in the day LSU thought they were getting him but before NIL, the brown bags kept him at home.

Mississippi State guy. World of talent but character issues. Punched and injured the MSU QB during bowl prep when trash talking got out of hand. If he can stay healthy, improves the speed on defense.

Chief fanatical fan here, you got a freak athlete that can play inside & out and absolutely better human being. The numbers game of Pro football can be brutal, especially to diehard fans. Hope Willie is an All-Pro for ya’ll, he’s got that type of ability.
