The $16m cap hit was impossible to bear, and I'm glad he'll only count $3.5m against it. I was happy to hear that he was still trying to work something out with the Saints last night. At the same time, I'm a little relieved that I don't have to keep defending his existence/salary to people who don't understand his value to the team.

Ya it's definitely a bit of a bittersweet feeling. He was a little Hollywood when he first came to Nola but I think over the past few years he's turned into a nice kid. Can't believe we actually managed to find a trading partner, figured it'd just be a straight-up release.
I also won't miss defending why he's not a bust, and having my heart in my throat every time he touched the ball, bit of a fumble machine. But I'll really miss him on 3rd down, and seeing those eye-popping plays every so often. Was usually good for a few HoN candidates every season.
Best of luck in Miami Reggie. Sounds like they've assured him he'll be "the man" this season, which was what he wanted, and clearly wasn't going to get in N.O. with Ingram/PT/Ivory. We'll see what he can do in south Florida, hopefully he can shed the injury bug, which is hard at his size.
