Could not believe the negative talk about his team on Sirius today as Grant was going ape over getting the franchise tag....He Said "New Orleans can never be a steady good team cause they don't want to pay their good players enough money and just let them go,thats why they can't be steadily competitively year after year"
Now I know getting tagged pisses off some players but this is going overboard a bit...No doubt he wants out of New Orleans where he said for his kind of talent he is getting extremely underpaid and the tag was placed cause N.O. would never want to pay the same or more for him in an open market nor will they get any good players who want to play there at this point because they won't pay anyone, WOW!!.
He feels severely trapped by the tag but thats how it is when you are the best or near the best player on your team and if you expect your team to come near the cap max.
I never heard such negativness from a guy whose team loves him there and wants badly to keep him,maybe he owes someone or other ALOT of money and was planning on paying what he owes for whatever but ain't gettin it now when he thought he was going to.
Something just isn't right...If you heard the conversation earlier today on Sirius you would have thought he was already cut by the Saints instead of being a player that they truly covet and did not want to battle over for in FA...I think that a cut might be possible if he continues to open his crybaby trap,I would not keep him,no matter how good he is,which IMO is one of the best DE in the NFC.
This has all the makings of a disaster in the locker room for team unity down there in N.O...Especially when your player can't wait to get out of there next year..no way he stays next year if he lasts thru this one,not from what I heard.
Hope Asante does not feel the same way.
