Jeff Duncan, The Times-Picayune
The trade of Jammal Brown and release of Bobby McCray last week sent the Who Dat Nation into a mild state of offseason catatonia.
Some saw the double whammy as the organization going cheap. Others viewed it as negligent mismanagement.
I see it as a sign of a club reaching maturity.
Five years into the Sean Payton regime, the program has evolved. A club once so desparate for talent it signed reclamation projects such as Dan Morgan and Rod Coleman now is casting aside Pro Bowlers.
