Makes me wonder about whether it's a physical problem, or an attitude one. How does someone immediately get turned away? sounds like they wanted to 'see for themselves' regarding some issue and decided it WAS indeed a problem and let him go.
Sean Payton: Paul Kruger can be 'an every-down player' http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2016/09/sean_payton_paul_kruger_can_be.html
Perhaps it's simply a, he just isn't good enough to play in the NFL issue. There were 32 teams which passed on him in the draft and the Dolphins gave him a chance as a free agent a few years ago. He showed enough as a pass rusher to keep him around for a few seasons to see if the rest of his game would eventually develop, but it obviously never did. Someone might pick him up and put him on their practice squad if he is lucky and if he is still eligible to be assigned to a PS. I just don't see the Dolphins having any interest in signing him to their practice squad.
McCain was getting cut anyway. Just some fans of him thought they knew more than Gase and now another team has let him go which sort of confirms that Gase was right to trade him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Regardless of his football abilities McCain, as many have already mentioned, seems to have a mindset which will lead him to be much more useful to society than simply being a football star. Which is the type of talent that really matters. Check out this story from just his one week in New Orleans: Rest of the article (good read): http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2016/09/new_orleans_saints_chris_mccai.html There less than a week and when most people would only be thinking of themselves given his situation, he still carried this on for the kids. Seems like a good dude and I wish him the best in life.
I think if it were that6, wouldn't you be able to see it on film already? Would you need to sign him to figure that out, and be surprised enough that your evaluation makes you cut him immediately? What was their initial interest based on, in that case?
