Via ESPN's Josina Anderson : Saints RB Darren Sproles to me on the handling of his future: "I want to get released. I don't want to be traded. I don't know where they would send me because I have no control over it and I want to be able to pick. The good thing is none of the teams I'm told they're talking to are terrible. It's more than two. I feel I should have more of an idea later on today."
He can always go find another line of work. Every player in the history of team sports knows he's subject to being traded, maybe somewhere he'd rather not go (looking squarely at Eric Gordon here). Does DS think he should be immune?
He's just stating his preference. Players realize it's a business and hopefully one day they find themselves in Jimmy Graham's shoes.
Of course not and obviously they'll send him where they can get the most value, but as a fan favorite and someone who gave his all to the franchise, I hope it's somewhere decent. I wish he would have won a ring while here. The 2011 team that lost to SF in the playoffs still stings because we most likely have our 2nd Lombardi if we win that game.
I feel a lot better about the offense heading into 2014 with PT still in the fold. We could not afford to lose both Sproles and PT.
