Diminutive running back/returner/receiver/bowling ball Darren Sproles isn't upset that he's now a member of the 3-1 Philadelphia Eagles.
He's not upset that he was traded to Philadelphia this offseason and united with head coach Chip Kelly, who's done nothing in the first four weeks of the season except find ways to get Sproles the ball and let him make plays.
He's not upset about his 49-yard rushing touchdown that turned around the season opener against Jacksonville, he's not upset that he caught seven passes for 152 yards the next week against Indianapolis, and he's definitely not upset about his 86-yard punt return for a touchdown against San Francisco this past weekend.
In fact, if Sproles is upset about anything, it's his unceremonious exit from the New Orleans Saints, the team he played three seasons for before joining the Eagles this offseason in exchange for a 5th round draft pick.
"I felt disrespected there," said Sproles.
Sproles claims that after giving the Saints his blood, sweat and tears for three seasons, he was shown the door without so much as a handshake or a "fare thee well."
"Listen, I understand this is business and all of that, but (when they talked about trading him) they put it up on Twitter. That's how I found out. There was a screen shot and a friend of mine texted it to me. I felt they did me wrong.
"First Sean (Payton) told me they were going to cut me. Then I find out on Twitter they're trading me. That's just not right.
"So I really haven't been in contact with anyone there since I left. I really haven't paid attention to what they're doing. I'm more focused on what's happening here.''
The Saints are currently 1-3, with their most recent loss being a 38-17 drubbing at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Sproles originally signed with them as a free agent in 2011 after six seasons in San Diego.
When asked if the Saints could use his versatility right now, he did his best to avoid the question.
"I don't know,'' Sproles said. "You'll have to ask them. I'm just happy to be here and to be 3-1.''
