I've confirmed ProFootballWeekly.com. report that Saints have reached 3-yr ext with CB Jabari Greer. Team approached him. Frees up cap space

That's great news, jabari is easily our best DB and I'm glad he never becomes a free agent by signing an extension with us

Plus it frees cap space for Drews contract

Smart move!! Should be good for both sides.

That's great news....Loomis locked in our best DB and at the same time is still clearing up room to sign Drew. Hoping that happens before the draft.

where's porter? do we still have him?

No, gone to the Broncos.

Do you think Drew is at home getting piss that everyone is getting paid except for him

No, IMHO Brees most likely has a big smile on his face saying to himself..."Mickey is clearing cap space to make me the highest paid player in the NFL."

He has no right to so I can't imagine he is.

For the THIRD time no less.

good job on this one...Greer is a great CB and glad hes in for another 3 years

Sweet....what a great acquisition to begin with and now he gets an extension. He is one of one of my favorite players because he plays smart and knows how to tackle.

This is a great move. I thought he was our best defensive player last year.

He is our best cover-man by far, that's why he gets the challenge of being put up against the Calvin Johnsons'. Glad we locked him up all why clearing more cap space...

Awesome news! Fear the Greer!

This is great news. We're keeping our best corner and now are a step closer to finishing Drew's contract.

Keep it up Mickey!

They offered to make him the highest paid player so No.

Drew's thoughts: Show me the Money!

Excellent news. I was calling for this exact move after Smith got his contract restructured, because the Saints absolutely have to keep Greer around.

He is one of the most underrated corners in football and one of the best FA acquisitions that the Saints have made during Loomis' tenure.

This news made me so happy! :bng:

Drew's thoughts: Show me even more Money!

I believe he see's the big picture. More money freed up gets him closer to the locker room

Last I heard, Drew and the Saints were only about 2 million a year apart; Hopefully these contract restructures are enough to seal the deal

Greer’s new deal is worth $15.6 million over three years
 

A casual glance at the reports created the impression that Greer will get $7.6 million per year on the three-year deal. The truth, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, is that Greer’s new contract carries $15.6 million in new money.

Greer already was due to earn a base salary of $5.4 million in 2012. That’s a four-year total of $21 million. The other $2 million likely comes from incentives or other payments that may or may not realistically be earned.

Greer

You have to have good corners. Greer is one of the best.
