Apple has good size (6'1") and good speed (4.40 forty). He wasn't just a first round pick, he was a top 10 overall pick. And as much as the fans of the Giants and Saints trash him he did start 48 games in 4 years for them.
I'd be very happy to re-sign him. Who cares what he tweets? Its not like he is getting arrested or failing drug tests.
A lot of fans also hated him because he just has not been good. I'm not sure why you're skipping over that.
I also haven't seen a single person say he should be released for his tweets. He should "walk" because his best case scenario is a life as a mediocre CB. If we resign him it should be to the role he was intended for...a backup.
I don't understand why how many games he started matters but you're under no obligation to explain it to me. Billy Price started a bunch for us but that doesn't translate to people liking him.
