THEORY.... Why we aren't signing so many FAs

Could it be that our new coach knows that he not going to win this year and plans to trade down while stock piling picks and building through the draft? If you sign 10 free agents and draft 5-6 more in the first 3 rounds, you are going to have to cut some good players.

Call Benson cheap but I think the Saints know that they are going to be the biggest draft day traders. Remember this is a first year coach and he will want to build his own team. Big name FAs are great if you are within reach of the Superbowl which the Saints are not.

Unfortunally it will take until the 3rd year for us to really be able to compete even with Brees. I sure as hell home we do sign a FA center to make the calls along the OL because more than anything else, I think that is where we are the thinnest.

To all have a good weekend!
