I often wonder what the Saints could have been, if they would have just paid Warren Moon the money he was looking for? If memory serves me correct, it was basically either New Orleans or Houston, and Moon went to Houston because they were more willing to meet his contract demands.

Since the Saints do have many holes to fill, especially on defense, they should definitely look at CFL talent.

As for Goodspeed, he is a stud in the CFL. For the Saints, he could be a very nice backup on the offensive line, or maybe even push for a starting job. From what I've read about him, he is very good for the running game.

I'm now convinced that the Saints organization doesn't know how to effectively manage mid-tier talent. Top level talent from odd places (Colston, Evans) seems to work out. But anyone who has been playing in the CFL probably isn't top tier talent.

I say leave it alone and spend money on big time defensive free agents only.

Is there no talent left to look at in the N F L ????

Re: saints to pick up some cfl players?
 

There's nothing wrong with scouting for talent in different places. Look what Kenton Keith did for the Colts last year. If we sign a CFL'er or two, I'm sure it wouldn't be a guaranteed contract nor will it be for any significant amount of money. I don't have a problem with that OT we're looking at... nice size. Hopefully he can play... maybe he'll earn himself a roster spot.

Oh and that's how much they make... so there's hardly a risk.

Yet all of us here rant about the Saints' problems evaluating second tier talent and going after guys who are injury prone and over the peak in their career.... How is this any different?

If we're talking depth, then maybe.

Re: saints to pick up some cfl players?
 

Well I never said we've had trouble evaluating second tier talent. But even if we did, does that mean we should stop trying? It's not like the guys we're considering bringing are over the age of 30 and injury prone. These guys are most likely just camp bodies... just like undrafted free agents we're going to sign after the draft. It's not like we're looking for starters or anything over there. Let them come in and compete... there's absolutely NOTHING to lose here.

pre draft smoke screen? Are the saints open to picking another OT again this year? Great bluff if that is what it is. At 10 and 41 are going to be crowded with OTs.
