i like bernard but he is more like what we have than what we need. Kemoeatu would have been perfect.

LB's ayodele jacksonville and andra davis browns are unrestricted and should be considered too.

I agree about Ayodele. He has helped make the Jags' D really nasty, but I just haven't heard anything about him.

Agreed....although I'm sure that money is the bottom line, I'm sure he's wary of being placed in a situation similar to what he was in in SD. He wants to be THE man.

Why don't they just lie to him....lol

anyone willing to give back $4 million dollars is due for a huge payout, and Arrington has been licking his chops at the opportunity.

i think Peterson can be had cheaper, because of his recent brush with injuries.

We already lost out on Witherspoon and if we don't get Brees either, we're going to over spend on one of those two. We actually started aggressive but it hasn't gotten us anywhere... how depressing.

papz, I think that's just wishful thinking. If we lose out on Brees, we'll probably end up making Fujita our biggest FA addition. Giving him $5 mill a year haha

Come on that's just wrong... I haven't had anything to drink yet and I feel like barfing after that.

... I don't see a mention of Willie McGinnest... he still can play, and what's left for him to accomplish but to be the mentor for young LBs? Not only that, he'll bring some of that N.E. attitude to the team...

T-R, has he been playing in a 3-4 defense? I thought he was more of a DE/LB kinda guy. I'm not sure. I would love his presence, but once again, this FO is too dumb to make a nice signing like that.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Other Targets???

Heres what I am thinking.... We are the Saints guys and how maney big name FA have we went after tha past few years...... um....... yeah that right no 1 i am really not surprised by this.... I could give a crap for signing brees.... we need to be looking at other ppl what like 3 have visited new orleans..... and no 1 signed yet.... well we lost witherspoon and i was really excited i thought we would get him but he goes to the rams, Brees left new orleans without a deal and goes to the phins today.... Just sux, if we did get a chance at getting arrington or peterson i dont care over pay them we need some lbs badly and we need a DT badly so signing peterson or arrington and overpaying i wouldnt care because they are good players and thats wat we need....... Someway saints will find a way to screw up something.....

never fails guys.... it never fails.........

I just want a pass rush... Is that so hard to find.... Apparently....
