Nice article to give some perspective on SMITH, VILMA and HARPER

There are many fans who support these three players based on sentimental value only. This article is just another way of saying that these guys are in no way, shape or form worth the money they're being paid.

I think Vilma is a great guy and was really wronged. He'll be a Saint for life but like the saying goes each and everyday in the NFL, "This is a business."

I wish these guys all the best but if we want to win a championship, they either need to be cut or have a dramatic paycut. Anyone who says otherwise is in no way objective about the value of players on the field to our team.

These guys all made millions during their time in the NFL. They can be successful on either other NFL teams or in another walk of life. I'm a Saints fan first and foremost and want the TEAM to win. With that said, they should go. No other way around it except for dramatically less money.

That is exactly the problem. We as a franchise dont make tough decisions due to sentimental value. I mean look at the Giants. They make decisions based on what suits them the best to win a championship. They got rid of Manningham and Jacobs who played an important part in their SB winning team in 2011. Then this offseason they cut Chris Canty and Ahmad Bradshaw.
