What The Hell Are The Saints Doing?

I thought the Eagles were bad - yikes the Saints are giving everyone away

Chip Kelly's busy gutting the Eagles roster and reshaping it to his liking, but let's turn to the Saints, who are just throwing shit all over the office this week.

Tight end Jimmy Graham, who just got a big contract last summer: gone to the Seahawks. Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs: traded to the Chiefs for a fifth-round pick. Promising receiver Kenny Stills: shipped to the Dolphins for a linebacker and a third-round pick. Oh, and after re-signing running back Mark Ingram to a deal, New Orleans went out and got another running back in C.J. Spiller. Is the new football trend just hoarding running backs?

Now whether they're dealing with this wisely is debatable.

The family that owns the team may be in turmoil. It was reported last year that members of the family were fighting the determine who would take over after the current owner is no longer able to lead the team. It was also said that the granddaughter that he had groomed for years to take his place was abruptly moved aside and his current wife was pretty much so named his heir apparent. His granddaughter and other family members sued claiming he has Dementia and may not be able to make decisions.

I'd expect law suits etc ... top players would know about that & not want to deal with it if they have other options.
