possibly they are major contributors on their respective defenses. and since the Saints picked up his 5th year option, I will be a dollar to a doughnut that he is in the Saints future plan. just because the above players are not in the HOF already don't mean they are not good players. KV is a very good player. I thought we were trying to increase the talent pool on this team. If that is the case then you don't get rid of one of your top 3 players on defense. His play is not one of our problems on defense. I would say the major problem is inexperience on defense. And lack of top tier talent. This wouldn't be a case of addition by subtraction.
