Thank god. Massive overpay for a player who is coming off an injury nobody at his position has ever recovered from, who was struggling before the injury anyway, and was never consistent in the past.

I think we should put Alontae Taylor back on the edge. There is the argument that we have moved Taylor around too much but I think in his 2022 rookie year on the edge he was actually a good all around player. Then in 2023 we decided at the last minute to hand the job back to Adebo and force Taylor to the slot where he was uncomfortable. Then in 2024 Taylor had a full training camp in the slot and made some strides with run defense and pass rush from the slot, but just isn't suited to coverage in the slot, and suffered from being bounces around between the slot and edge due to injuries. I think Taylor's only chance to be a good all around player is in the slot and we should use him there.

Adebo’s contract may net us a high comp pick. We should try to make sure we dont flush that pick signing some $5 million backup. Wait until after the deadline or sign players who were cut.

Adebo has recovered and is likely to return stronger than before. If the Saints had the money he would've been paid to stay.

Your post is confusing - you're saying Taylor should be on the edge, he isn't suited to slot but would be the best in the slot???

Nathan Shepherd signs one year extension with Saints.

I haven't seen any numbers but it should include a restructuring of 2015 freeing up more cap.

Adebo deal with Giants $54 million three year with $36 million guaranteed.

Fixed the typo. I want Taylor on the edge.

I dont believe Adebo has recovered until there is game tape and he is more effective than the lackluster performance we saw pre injury. Even if he is great in 2025 I dont trust him to stop sucking in even numbered years. Remember Michael Thomas made videos on his comeback trail too. They meant nothing.
