Maybe, just maybe, we’ll look back on Friday, July 24, 2015, as the day human decency prevailed in the NFL. We’ll beam with pride and think that was when winning a game started to mean just a little less among team owners and executives, and ridding their franchises of deeply flawed players started to mean a lot more.
That happened even though, in this case, the player is a productive, highly paid and critical piece. Therefore, he's also a lucrative asset with drawing power to put rear ends in seats and money in pockets.
Or maybe the New Orleans Saints' decision to release outside linebacker Junior Galette, as first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport Friday afternoon, will amount to absolutely nothing.
