For that past two years, the majority of the Huddle has screamed that Worley sucks. All last year, the Huddle screamed that we badly missed Ginn and we needed a deep threat.

Fast forward a couple of months and we trade Worley for a deep threat WR and now a good chunk of the Huddle is in an uproar about it.

Sometimes I just have to chuckle.

I've been on the huddle... for 3 days?

 

Worley is young and still has upside.  Injuries were our issue last year at WR, not lack of personnel.

every interested team would have let the panthers eat that cap number and told norwell that they'd see him next year

True but I am a gambling man lol the risk is great but the reward of a #2 pick would offset that for me. I definitely see your point though.

that'd be great

saints utterly punked by the vikings to close 2017 and open 2018

Worley is slow as molasses and stiff in the hips. He's a sorry CB with very limited upside. I wanted to give him a shot at safety but I was pretty much done with him as a CB. I think this says that so were the Panthers.

I really hope we dont regret trading worley.

Per NFL Live Vikings are reaching out to the Aints Drew Brees... 

Pretty sure he isn’t going anywhere but can’t wait to see what kind of crazy money he gets

meh I liked how they played last year. The turn around is coming. I think they make the playoffs NEXT year. Its still been damn near impossible to watch since 2013.

I thought the offense was OK, but I have zero confidence in our pitching staff being good enough to make the playoffs any time soon.  Horrible across the board.

NFL Network discussing Vikings and that they have contacted Brees representatives. 

If you're a QB needy team trying to win now I think you'd be crazy not to contact Brees. I'd still be shocked if Brees isn't back in N.O. I just hope this give him and his representatives the leverage they need to suck every dime they can out of the Saints' cap space.

i like the aggressiveness out of hurney, let me get that out of the way first.  but if we needed a guy to run really fast in a straight line we have damiere byrd coming back this year and he's way cheaper.

We won't. He sucks. Seymour is pretty much his equal and I hope Seymour isn't starting for us this year either.

The only thing that will frustrate me is if he's moved to safety and thrives there simply because I think he's best suited at safety anyway. He doesn't have the speed, quickness, or hips to hang at CB. But he's a really solid tackler for a DB and seems to want to play off in coverage anyway. That screams safety to me.

I think you're right that he could've benefited from a move to safety as his biggest strength was tackling and it would also hide his weaknesses.  I mean... it's not like we need a safety or anything.

Honestly surprised that there hasn't been some pending deals leaked yet. I expected a handful of the top guys out there (likely including Norwell) to have agreements in place leaked out by the end of today.

pls get this weasel out of NO so we can laugh.
