Re: YOUNG and SIMONEAU signed...

Bringing Young back was pretty much a need since there are no DTs available in free agency...and bringing Simoneau back is probably insurance incase Vilma gets hurt. I have no problem with him being a reserve, i am completely against having to rely on him to start for us at MLB.

And 12 million over 4 years is a very good deal for the Saints considering the money DTs are getting nowadays.

Re: YOUNG and SIMONEAU signed...

Sim will start. Villma will spend time rehabing and getting a contract redone. We sat Mech for a year so why not Vilma? Besides the longer the rehab the better the knee and the lower the pick. I can suffer 8 or more games knowing he will be almost 100% when he gets on the field. Get the CB and S straightened out and we should be ok. Waite till the following year to get him on the field for 16 games.
Young is a seasoned Vet we all liked till injuries really hurt him last year. Glad to see him back in the fold.

Do not risk the future for results today. If time is the only thing he needs to get back to the player he was, then give him the time. We are not lossing a thing. Long term results are key. Do not rush him back!

I also think the Young signing was a good one. When the kid is healthy, he's a better than avg pass rushing DT. Course, he has yet to prove he can play an entire season healthy. I still like it though.

Agree 100%...he hasn't even run at full speed yet, though. Let's give him time to rehab.

Re: YOUNG and SIMONEAU signed...

Simoneau is a quality backup and special teamer... hopefully he won't be starting for again.

Young had a good year last season. With the market value for DT's skyrocketing, I'm happy we retained him for a reasonable price. The market is making the draft ever so more important these days.

Exactly my sentiments andersen. I don't care if he is a quality backup, if he's on the roster, he's going to be given the chance to start. I'd rather just see him gone and see somebody like Brian Simmons be our quality backup.

I am happy that we got Young back, though. He's a solid player, just needs to stay healthy.
