Jordan Matthews could have helped our offense ... specifically on 3rd down.

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency

Seems weird that Davis is being so undervalued since many "experts" had him ranked as the #1 LB going into free agency.

The more I've read about him, the more excited I am about the signing. Sure, it would've been nice to get him cheaper, but this was reportedly what they had to pay him in order to win over the other suitors.

He seems like a true locker room leader and an on-the-field general, who could very well outshine the last gang green MLB the Saints had.

+1.

His contract seems in line, especially when considering salaries (source - spotrac) on other MLB such as Kuechly, Anthony Hitchens, Bobby Wagner & Alex Olgetree. Davis appears to be on par with BMarshall & Zach Brown. He was top 10 at his position & it looks as if he was paid right around that slot.

Dude loves that he is playing close to home, #9 is his QB & Payton is his HC. He has that Ben Watson "vibe" about him. Nolan will coach a good one.

One important thing for me ... rarely misses work (played in 78 of 79 games) & balls on Sundays . I think we got better in the middle on D.

Patriots are trading WR Brandin Cooks and a fourth-round pick to LA Rams for the 23rd overall pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft and a sixth-round pick, league sources told ESPN.

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency

We overpaid for Davis, period. That's not to say he won't be a value addition, but we overpaid for a guy who's only had one good season...

And the Saints FO did so for two reasons; first, shell-shock from the alarming injuries at the LBing position last season; and two, there was some sting they failed again to close and couldn't sway Jimmy Graham to sign back home...

Not that not overpaying was the wrong move with Graham - it was the right move. But not being able to convince him to come home at market value and become a Saints superstar again on a Title Run - they didn't have enough cache'...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
