That's not a head coach thing right? So we can't blame DA for it?

As he should

He's been the public voice of the team for the last 2 years!

AK is our new Drew Brees. He chose to stay here. He is in my top 5 Saints favorites

Aren't team Captains elected by the players?

Am I tripping? I can't see my original post in here.

Well there's my answer! Way to go team! Though I agree he should have been a Captain all along.

Congratulations Alvin! Well deserved!

I didn't know they can name somebody a captain at the mid part of the season. I wonder who lost their Captain decal. Or they haven't fully named all of the captains this past offseason until now

It's a crime he wasn't made captain at the beginning of the year.

This is interesting because the Saints were already at the new NFL max # of 8 captains.
Davis, McCoy, Jordan, Mathieu, Carr, Hill, Gray and Wood.

It doesn’t seem like any of them would do something that leads to losing their captaincy during the season. But you never know. I wonder if the Saints were granted an exemption to make AK the 9th captain.

I think you underestimate us. We can blame anything on DA.

It makes you wonder. Maybe Wood voluntarily gave up his decal out of respect for Kamara?

It looks like teams can name any number of captains.
I see that only 8 captains can wear the C patch.
AK deserves the decal on his jersey for sure.

He hadn’t signed his extension at the beginning of the year.
