Re: Saints interested in Richard Sherman
 
It would be nice but I'd rather have a rookie on a cheap contract. Would signing him cancel a comp pick?

Why the hell did they let Janorius Jack Rabbit Jenkins go?

He was perfect opposite Lattimore
And complemented Cauncy Gardner

Should have kept him and go out and get a key linebacker
When Kwon was in the defense really gelled

Yes. That's true K. But so what? I understand it's a team sport. And I root for the team.

But the team is full of individual players. Some people dont like some individual players and would prefer not to have them on the team for whatever reason.

I'm not a big fan of loudmouth show off players or players that are more interested in themselves than the team. Or players that I feel have questionable ethical issues or are or could be a distraction on or off the field.

Hell, some fans may not like a player because they played well against the Saints in the past or because they cheap shotted a player. There's tons of reasons.

Same goes with coaches.

I work in a team oriented profession. And although some people may be good at the job, I would rather not work with or want certain people on my team for various reasons. It could be work ethic, how they treat other team members, supervisors, community members or their own family. Production is not always what's most important to me.

Just my 2 cents. And I'm sure its because I'm 42 years old and maybe I'm a bit old school.

Doesn't matter in the end really. That's just my opinion. And like the saying goes, everyone has one but not everyone will agree with each other.

I guess brother. Sean Payton will and continue to bring in men that give the Saints the best chance of winning. Ceedy Deuce, Mike Thomas, Malcolm J are all very outspoken/opinionated players but coach loves what they bring to the game on Sundays.

Richard Sherman is a leader on and off the field. Does outstanding community service in the greater Compton, CA & Seattle areas.

Just never understood the hate on a guy who is highly intelligent, has the hardware & ability to help every team he's been a part of. Coaches and teammates love him. Don't think we'll sign him though.

How does that old Buddy Ryan saying go on evaluating players ? ... "If you listen and think like fans, you'll be sitting up there with them" :p.

It is what it is I suppose.

Sherman at the right price could really benefit the Saints, I can see it.

Re: Saints interested in Richard Sherman
 
We are over the cap and need to sign draft picks. We pushed 85 million in dead money into future years. We are not sure of our starting qb. What we dont need is an expensive aging cornerback to win now. We cut Jenkins because we cant pay $10 million to a #2 corner who is old.
Sherman presents the same problem. We need to find cheap young players.

Again, Sherman was only available for five games last year - a 33yo CB (in four days) was available for only Five (5) games...

So a five game contract?

A prove it deal at 2.5 games with incentives to 5 games?
