Rankins isn’t on the team, because the Saints couldn’t afford him. Not because he was outperformed by a fourth round pick.
This is total BS. I'd say the main reason is because he couldn't stay healthy and his performance suffered for it.
I'd also say Onyemata is the better player now, I think that is rather obvious.
I would also say that if a team doesn't think a former high 1st round pick is worth the 2nd contract then that player went from early starter to "not the long term solution at that position"....which, unfortunately is what happened here....and I really liked the healthy version of Rankins...
