Report: Marcus Williams, Saints unlikely to beat deadline for long-term deal

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ong-term-deal/

Per Underhill : "Deadline to sign Marcus Williams has passed without a deal, per source. Saints made a strong offer but they’ll have to wait to try again".

It’s probably better to tag him twice rather than pay an inflated price, especially since he whiffed on a game saving tackle that would have earned us a SuperBowl berth.

Hard to assume that one Smash. You still had to get through a red hot Philly team the following week. No guarantees we would have won.

Nobody in the league was beating Philly that year. Nobody. They just had the “it” factor. Just like we did in 06.

He only whiffed because he was told not to create a foul. That's not on him.

Respectfully, we'd tore Philly a new arsehole - Sean going out-of-character conservative vs MIN HC, his kryptonite, did us in...

Usually when the Saints Front Office has extended a player, it's been cheaper than franchise tagging them over and over...

Thought they'd learned their lesson with Drew on that one...

Ramz allowed only one (1) sack all season, all the while facing no less than probably nine (9) future HOF DEs with only two (2) Holding and two (2) Offside Calls...

Source: https://www.canalstreetchronicles.co...offensive-line

Ryan Ramczyk wasn't named to the ProBowl that year, though he was All-Pro, so ProBowls are not a valid indicator of NFL success...

If this were the NY, Philly, ATL, Chicago, Dallas, or L.A. Saints, Marcus Williams would have been All-Pro his rookie year, let alone have been named to the Pro-Bowl...

As I stated earlier in the thread, it's a gamble, but the right move for him is to wait till next season when the cap number should escalate as much as 20%...

Williams with another great season and that cap number higher should give him all the leverage...

That plus SP's bad knowledge of the rule book, unlike BB.

Well we’re currently about $27 million over the 2022 salary cap ceiling of $208 million with only 40 players under contract. Yes we’ve seen the gymnastics Loomis and Harley can do to get under the cap this offseason, but next year may be even more daunting because we don’t even have a QB under contract. I think Marcus Williams is as good as gone.

Thought we were ever so slightly under the cap... nonetheless, methinks you’re probably right as far as retaining Williams’ services, other than re-tagging him.

Projected salary cap ceiling. Other than last year the final cap number, due in February, has almost always come out a tad higher than the projection from over a half year prior. Hopefully this proves true again.

The NFL and NFLPA agreed to set the ceiling at $208.2 million. I’m pretty sure that’s it.

He may or may not have been told not to create a foul but look at his timing on that play ,it stunk. That was on him.

Honestly, should Marcus Williams even want to sign long-term with the Saints? Now that Brees is gone and our roster’s being squeezed by salary cap restraints this year and next are we really even contenders?

Who cares? It was one play. Why dwell on it? What good does that do? What is past is past.

We are about to see, aren't we? I expect we will be contenders.

If no deal is agreed in principle and the season isn't going well and looking at the interior line for 6 games it won't be, I'd trade him at the deadline for a pick next year. No point in waiting two years for a 3rd round at best if any pick.

I would imagine a whole lot of people cared at the time and some still do, especially when they watched it go for a game winning TD and cost a possible SB. The Minni miricle it's called. And contrary to whatever you believe, IT WAS HIS FAULT.

Once again, who cares? Move on. I don't get the whole holding something against an individual forever. What does that gain you? What is the point?

Then you shouldn't defend him with your "Wasn't his fault" bull, when it was his fault. See ,you like to DRIVE your point across to others but really don't like the blowback when your not right, kind of like rinse then repeat so to speak. It's like talking to a vendictive child who thinks their right all the time, I do get a kick out of the way you think, it's funny.

If he balls out this year we're going to have a tough time re-signing him.

We can sign anyone we want. Simply back load a contract with plenty of guarantees. The first year could be minimal against the cap and Loomis commonly uses roster bonuses in subsequent years. The cap is going to continue to explode over the next several years.

ProBowls should never be used as a measuring stick for quality of play; Case in point is Ramczyk...

Ramczyk was named All-Pro after a season where he shutdown at least six (6) HOF players, at least ten (10) DEs, from a sack...

Matt asked the right question, this is likely a case of Marcus and agent waiting till next season when the cap should increase dramatically, giving them more leverage...
