Marcus Williams Tagged

Quote:

The Saints have counted on Williams as a starter in the back end of their secondary since they drafted him in the second round of the 2017 draft. His speed and ball skills have made him one of the better playmakers at his position in the NFL. Since 2017, he ranks sixth among NFL safeties with 13 interceptions.

They mentioned earlier today, before the tag, that the Saints were wanting to extend him. The extension with a minimal first year cap hit make total sense. No way we can carry his cap number ($11.196 million) as it stands.

A couple years ago in free agency, elite safeties were going for pennies as teams focused on depth at corner. Teams let Honey Badger walk. Spending a ton of cash on safety who grades well but isn't known for a ton of big plays in big moments seems like a bad bet. He must have copies of whatever pictures passed down from Rick Venturi, Joe Vitt, Andrus Peat, etc.

Well, the tag is of the non-exclusive type, so if another teams signs him, the Saints will get two first round picks...

Likely not to happen for a safety...

Re: Marcus Williams Tagged

I don’t mind move. I honestly would have bet on them doing this with T Hen before Marcus though. Guess that’s why I’ve not been offered a front office job by now !

Also, it’s hard to see franchising the guy who missed the tackle on the Vikings playoff pass.

Enter Coach Kris Richard.

I don't see the next Derwin James, Sean Taylor, Ed Reed in the draft + Marcus is only 24 with a lot of upside.

Coach him up.

You may not see those type players in the draft. However, maybe Jeff Ireland does. I'm stoked to see what Kris Richard can do with half a new secondary.

Important date here :

July 15th is the franchise tag extension deadline.

If the Saints front office brass have not signed Marcus to a contract by the deadline, he'll play this season (2021) on the 10.5M tag.

We up here in FailClown country have to deal with them popping out of the woodwork when they see Saints gear. You'd never know they were fans because they never show any gear. Common quip from them is "You have the wrong colors on..." I always ask them where they were in 1972. Of course they were not at the top of Tulane Stadium watching Saints games like I was. Usually shuts them up.

Many of them claim they have FIVE RINGS. I remind them that their daddies' teams had five rings. They weren't born yet when the Cowgirls won their last.

I love the look on their faces is priceless.

Here's one take on the issue:

Quote:

Marcus Williams, S, Saints: Set to earn $10.612 million. It was a surprise when the salary-cap strapped Saints could tag Williams, which underscores both the gymnastics New Orleans' front office is capable of and how low the tag is for safeties. Eight safeties earn at least $11.25 million per year, with newly signed Justin Simmons sitting atop at $15.25 million per. So Williams can wait out the market this year, hoping Tyrann Mathieu or others get new deals that push a stagnant safety market upwards and help him get a bigger deal in free agency.

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".
