You know, if Rob Ryan really likes the guy, loves him, all he really needs to do is just blow some smoke, create a bidding war, and help Nnamdi get more from the 49ers, drive up the price and make the 49ers pay more for his services. It is a business after all, a business where people make friendships. I can kinda see a scenario where the Saints say ALL the right things, "reportedly are making a big push for him," Ryan really wants him, Payton says he's an elite talent, whipping the fan base into a frenzy, etc. etc. all to make the 49ers sweat a little more.

Then when Nnamdi's agent writes an obscenely high number on a napkin and slides it across the table at the restaurant at lunch, Loomis and company fold and say "too much money, we pass." Then the agent goes back to San Francisco and says, "they turned down our offer, but are still interested in him, they really want him -- but you can have him signed today, for X amount more than your first offer."

Then Ryan wishes Nnamdi "all the best" in the media and the two eventually retire as very rich men and see each other a few times a season. It's not outside the realm of possibility that a lot of this is just smoke.

The fact that he hasnt made up his mind yet makes me not want him here. Is Harbaugh that tempting? Then go play for his a@@ Nnamdi is already showing that he wants a shortcut to a title(SF), which never happens.

Brees spoke thru the media both during his contract negotiations and the CBA negotiations.

Ya'll still want Brees?

He was on our team already and from what I heard held out because of Payton(he couldnt talk with him once he signed). And so was Vilma when he was debating. But he signed within the first day of FA. Nnamdi is still waiting to make a decision.

I don't think our DBs are as bad as they're being made out to be. I think if you want instant impact a proven, effective pass rusher is the answer. Hicks and Jordan are going to help a lot but we still need that edge rusher to really put pressure on the opposing O line. Just that one thing could transform this defense into a top 15 unit.

Not that we couldn't stand to upgrade our DBs. I just think that's the most important part.

Did.nt they offer him 2 mill this year with a 5 mill signing boner so 7 mill a year is about right

I haven't seen any figures made public, just speculations.

OMG, I can't believe some people still want to see an aging CB in a Saints uniform. The Saint's will be better off spending the money on the D Line and a OLB who can generate some pass rush, if this happens our current CB will look to be all pro.
If its gotten overlooked still need a LT way more than we need Nnamdi A.. Let him go back to California and get over paid for his services, seems like we have enough of that already with Will Smith and Johnathon Vilma regardless if they restructured their contracts.

I don't care how old or young they are, I want to see a good CB in a Saints uniform.

We have good corners in Lewis , Greer and Robinson. Rob Ryan will put Robinson in a place where he can succeed. Robinson is still young, give him a chance. We certainly know he didn't have much of a chance last year under that no coaching idiot Spuds. Greer was a good corner opposite Porter a couple of years ago, there no reason that he can't return to that same guy.
