From a financial standpoint, they could put together a package to appease Earl but that would be their only "splash" off season signings.

Just don't think Stephen Jones will give Earl a call this off season.
Major, their biggest liability on the field of play on defense has been their safety play - giving up the big pass play (sound familiar?)...

Now they need a head coach with all the talent they have now - and a Center now that Frederick has a suspect health condition...

Unfortunate it didn't work out. Couldn't stay healthy in NO and rarely made plays on the back end. Byrd was a ball hawk in Buffalo, then came here and did nothing.

Maybe bad coaching/scheme?

Like I mentioned, when a team lets a PLAYER leave, there is a reason. Buyer Beware.

Re: Should the Saints make a run at Earl Thomas?

Can't compare Byrd and Thomas. Thomas is far superior talent. I understand talking about off the field stuff (I don't understand that either) but on the filed dude just stands out. He made Richard Sherman elite and some corners got paid thanks to his play. (Maxwell)
I remember Drew Brees interview on Dan Patrick show during superbowl week (Seattle played in the SB). He was asked about that secondary, Sherman... He said something like: Yeah, Sherman and all those guys are great but Thomas is the man. Best player on that defense.
Is it scheme or lack of talent but safeties on Saints defense almost never help corners the way Thomas does on regular basis.
