It’s implausible for a player whose HC blasted him in the media and got surpassed by two rookies on the depth chart that did virtually nothing in the preseason may have personal reasons for not wanting to be with the Saints??? That was my original point.
Yeah, I can still see how we're interpreting the same facts differently. I see getting beaten out by other players as simple evidence that he wasn't all that good. You see it (I think) as evidence that he was wronged by that process.
Again, what the players do in practice is what matters more than the few plays we see in exhibition games. Claiming that those ahead of him did virtually nothing in the preseason is flawed reasoning, from my perspective.
I don't have any favourites among the depth chart for the position, but I do recall that Tipton was getting rave reviews in practice and was put up to talk to the media, which Underhill noted was significant for an unheralded UDFA. For Wilson, I don't know what the story is, but I get the impression he's experienced in the Kubiak zone system and may just be a better blocker than Perry ever managed to be - but again, that's just my conjecture.
