re: Saints officially decline fifth-year option for Payton Turner

I honestly don't think Turner makes this roster if Young isn't on PUP for the start of the season. He has all the makings of a guy you trade for a 7th round pick at cut time.

I didn’t like the pick, was a major reach. But he looked better in the preseason and they had good reports from training camp that he was going to at least be in the rotation. He just got injured again.

His comp was Davenport out of college, and so far it’s been pretty close. But at least Davenport had one good year.
