Isaac Yiadom signed with the 49ers

This is just a question....
What if some of these players just don't want to play here? All I have to reference is the attitude and culture stuff last season....just playing devil's advocate. It isn't just about the money, some folks may just not want to be in New Orleans.

Maybe we offered more money, and still got turned down. If so, that would remind me of Deion breaking my heart in the early 90's when we offered way more money and he said no way Jose lol. Still hurts. 😂

With Baun, Roach and Yiadom, it looks like they’re leaving for increased roles and better pay. They’re mostly buried behind other players here with no significant defined role unless injury to other players occurs.

Baun and Lonnie Johnson thanked the fans, city and team on social media on their way out so I don’t think it’s our FAs don’t want to be here. Roach also expressed how much he loved being a Saint.

They have better business opportunities offered elsewhere. Winning teams like Philly and 49ers giving them those opportunities can influence them to make a decision but it looks more to do with the promotion. We could also look at it as we’ve consistently developed previously unknown talent/depth into significant players who teams want as starters as soon as they become FAs.
