Is this the same guy, that spouts off nonsense hoping it'll stick?

You mean it was all a ploy to sign with the Saints?

Operation "Deez Nutz" is in full force. To answer your question, precisely. He will fetch offers from other teams but I just don't see us not counter offering his best offer to play in the BnG. May the 4th be with you :lightsabres:

Not currently considered a suspect and cleared are two very different things. I would expect him to be ruled out as a suspect eventually, but until he is he may not be signed. I sure hope the Saints are recruiting him hard.

I was a big fan of his. If he is INNOCENT, It'd be great to have him.

As I understand it there is a certain limit on how much a team can offer an UDFA under the CBA. We could't offer him a $5mil deal for example. Could a wealthy businessman offer him an endorsment deal if he signed with a certain team?

I think it will come down to where he feels comfortable going. It will also depend on wether he views himself as a guard or a tackle. If he wants to play tackle we can scratch him off our list because then he will go to a team with less competition.

A wealthy business man offering deals would surely be a violation/manipulation of the cap.

He has to sign for the UDFA contract but can renegotiate in two years. The big issue i read yesterday is the advantage that teams in Miami and Texas hold as there is no state tax
