Zack Baun: Top Graded LB / DPOY cand. [Why Isn’t Baun Still a Saint Thread] ………. [Eagles re-sign Baun to 3-year, $51 million contract on March 5]

Not hindsight, but I thought it was a mistake to let Hendrickson walk. He had outperformed Davenport. I assumed it was due to our salary cap situation, but some say the Saints just weren't particularly high on Hendrickson for whatever reason. Now he's double digit sacks year after year and DPOY nominee. It's just maddening to see these guys you drafted at the top of the league in defense playing on someone else's team.

Davenport contract wasnt up he was still on his rookie contract and we offer Hendrickson a contract but the Bengals offered a much BIGGER contract that the saints wasnt willing to match. Trey Signed a 4 yr 60 Mil contract, just as comparison in 2019 our Best lineman Cam Jordan sign a 3yr 52.5 mil extension. Bengals bet the farm on hendrickson and it panned out. But the saints didnt like hendrickson walk Bengals paid him to run
