Darren Howard an Eagle
http://<a href="http://sports.espn.g...id=2366207</a>
This was expected and not too big a deal, but we seem to be on the negative side of FA so far... |

yeah this sux alot..........

Yo let D Howard go. The saints have bigger things to deal with, like getiig Brees in here so they can pickup A.J Hawk and maybe another top pick.
|
Sweet job again FO. It was reported that the Eagles would have given up either their 1st round or 2nd round pick for him last year. Good thing we decided to keep him, bench him, and then let him go for nothing.
|
Holy crap, I just noticed that they are giving this turd 6 years and $30.5 million?!?!?!?! Haha, wow.
|
I wonder how much is incentives if he can play a full year.

Same thing I thought and said. We coulda traded him to the Eagles last year for pick #31, now they get him for nothing. Dumb dumb dumb. Now that's not on Payton, but we just let LeCharles walk for nothing, and Cleveland gave him A LOT of money. Surely they would have given us SOMETHING for him.
|
Yep....FO fudged things up badly. Everything could've been sewn up last year....Bentley....trading Howard....but instead they decided to do things like give Horn that ridiculous contract. They are clueless still.
|
he would have had to have been signed first or franchised for top 5 lineman pay that includes tackles. it should be positions instead of composite line. didn't i read it was the most money ever given to a center in the history of the league? that's wanting him bad. a savvy front office would have seen this coming last year.
|
Non-exclusive franchise tag. He could have still negotiated the same deal with Cleveland, but they would have had to give us something to get him. And I also read somewhere it was the highest deal ever for a center. Just a blown move on our part. Now Cleveland is shopping Jeff Faine, how much you wanna bet we trade them something for him? :?
|
i like payton but it is still mickey the bean counter making the moves. that would be in line with his MO. too poetic, give away the great guy and overpay the journeyman he replaced.

I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like they'll hit panic mode if Brees doesn't sign. They are too reactive, and don't seem to have contingencies in place. Surely they can focus on more than one FA at a time. |
