What makes you say they signed for more money than we could afford? Could it not be that we just wanted to go in a different direction? We literally just gave the biggest contract in free agency a week ago
RIGHT. If money was the issue, the Saints could have signed Jimmy G and kept both players. That's not what the Saints wanted to do.
I wish people would get it. The Saints sign who they want to sign. If they wanted Onyemata to be a Saint no matter what, he'd be a Saint. They had a price in mind, and Onyemata wanted more than that. They let him walk.
