Saints sign LB Willie Gay

Good, YOUNG player with rings. Brings in the winning mindset. Demario is 35 and Pete W has yet to breakout at his position.

Mississippi kid (Starkville) ... like the signing.

I think he'll be signed on a "prove it" type of deal.

But on the flip side, the Saints really need more young talent coming off the edge & he has the tools.

Intriguing indeed.

If Chase Young is the type who is all talent and no effort maybe you want to get him cheap on a a 1 year deal, hope settling for a cheap 1 year deal makes him work for 1 year, then ghost him next offseason and hope he signs long term with a division rival while the comp pick you bag outproduces his $100 million Falcons contract.

Now THIS is a move to get pumped about! Nice pick up!

I'm really excited about this one. He's got the skills to cover those difficult TE's. He needs work on the run game from what I've heard, but he's young.

And then there's this ...

AsylumGuido · 03-13-2024, 08:20 AM

We knew is was coming, but now it's official. The only player we've actually cut.

On PFF, Willie Gay had a high 60's rating in 2020 and 2022 and a low 50's rating in 2021 and 2023. This being an even numbered year, the contract may be a good value, but next offseason we should not pay the even year price going into an odd year performance. In other words, just remember the guy has been kind of inconsistent but has upside. He has also not missed a ton of games. Seems like quality depth.
