Dome Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Quote After a quick visit in New Orleans, the former second-round pick decided to make Louisiana his temporary home Thursday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Franklin bounced from the Broncos to the Chargers where he signed a five-year deal worth nearly $40 million in 2015. He made it just two seasons before hitting the market once again. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000822607/article/offensive-lineman-orlando-franklin-signs-with-saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he got crapped on way more than he deserved by a lot of Chargers fans, but I also wouldn't describe the performances he turned in as "good." He's absolutely someone who you have to keep a stable situation around because his play was markedly worse when he was having to deal with weekly changes in who was playing beside him due to injury - he can do his duties, but if he's asked to pick up slack for someone else, he flails.

SteelKing728 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I can't imagine he'll be viewed as a starter to New Orleans or anyone else. My understanding is that he's a very limited player. Does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Quote Orlando Franklin's opportunity with the New Orleans Saints didn't last long. The veteran offensive lineman signed with the Saints last Thursday before training camp began, but after just five practices, the team released him on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire. http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2017/08/saints_release_orlando_frankli.html#incart_river_index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Too bad. He was a pretty decent road grader at RT who just couldn't handle speed rushers, moved to guard in 2014 and was our best lineman. Always liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
