How does he know? Lol

Mike is like a pig in the slaughter house chute. So clueless about how he's about to get his head knocked off. Smh. I hate this front office so much so that I think imma get arrested for punching Stephen Jones at training camp in oxnard this year.

What a joke from the top down. Who on here really believes we could win a championship with a trash owner, gm, HC, QB. Wake up people!!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!! What a joke!

We didn't trade La'el, we cut him. When free agency had barely started. With no guaranteed money saved.

Just relinquished rights to a quality OT on a good contract.

Unless there is some medical reason to dump him, this was just dumb. A waste.

Big Mike is under the illusion that he had any input in those decisions

That's an interesting - and funny - way to put it.

Jerry finally let Mike talk.

yeah except he makes $5m a year. lol.
some of u are really naive. he knows he could get cut, but would u walk off and lose that much $$$?

The stupidity, or self-delusion, of a significant portion of this fan base. Who cares what McCarthy says?

Stop expecting to win anything. It's not going to happen as long as Jerry plays fantasy football with his kids.

How does he know? Lol

lol They lied to him too.

McCarthy- " losing Cooper, Collins and Gregory were tough, tough decisions for Jerry, Stephen and Sean Payton".

 

[Stash]

The more things I read, the more this whole thing looks like a golden parachute for McCarthy. He got the Joneses to hire him and give him a head start on retirement contract. No matter how this goes, he wins financially. But he’s been neutered.

Worthless article from a worthless site.
Fans been talking this all along on here, which is probably where they got the idea from for the article.
How many times have we seen that before.

It was going to be Cooper or Gallup , and we all knew that 2 years ago. Some hoped to retain both, but that was a long shot. And Cooper's production has slipped along with his nagging injuries.
Fans even said the past 2 years how he disappears on road games. We will see if it was the right choice, as Gallup has had his injuries also.

Gregory, unfortunate the way it happened, however I still say that was a blessing in disguise. Fans are funny, many that have wanted him gone for years, then blame Jerry once again, for Gregory leaving. So do you want him or not? Funny stuff. I liked Gregory, but it was time to move on. I felt the 5 years at that price was too high for a player that never played a full season without a suspension or injury. I got tired of his stupid offsides and many at horrible timing at critical times.

Collins, I think there is more behind the scenes on this one. Something we may not hear about for a long time. He has not played a lot of games the past few years. This one is a head scratcher of sorts though. I know he cleared a lot of future cap space, but when you can't get even a mid rounder for him. Something else is going on, and no team has been quick to sign him.
I seen where they think it could be lingering issues from his hip.
So he and Cooper was more about clearing cap room and was simply time to move on.

All blessings in disguise? As it will force them to go in a different direction with players. Something many been wanting, but yet they blame Jerry for this. As I said, funny stuff.

I agree. He didn’t have the best year and made a bone head move and missed some games for failing to appear for drug testing. But I would have kept him. He is quality enough. What needs to be changed is the O-Line coach. They need to fire this guy.

And also I am sick of them picking on some of these players that fail a drug test. Collins failed a test a few years ago for weed. He has been tested 10 times a month for the last 18 months. Passed all of them. The tests he missed were because the team was sending players home with covid related situations.
