Looks like any competition with da Bears we may be in for Brigg's servces just got stiffer.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Sources: Vikes ink Berrian to 6-year deal

They are going to be able to put a lot more money on the table now.

Don't get excited. Briggs won't come here because we won't pay him what he wants. It all comes down to that for the Saints. If he signs here I'll eat my own shoe!

Guy, I'm trying to be, but when you see guys like J.Brown, Drayton Florence, G.Wilson,M.Stroud etc keep going off the board and WE keep resigning guys like Henderson, Simineau, Nesbit, Young and Stecker, it makes it real, real hard to stay upbeat. Yes, the Vilma deal was a good one, but we still have a LOT more holes to fill on this defense and we better start moving or we'll have a starting secondary of.....

J.David
J.Bullocks
R.Harper
U.Young

Pretty scrary isn't it?

Okie dokie, you're right. Brown is not worth the money. Course, giving up a draft pick for Mare and then having to sign the ultimate journeyman Gramatica is a great move for an organization still trying to replace Morten Anderson. Not to mention, guy, we have 30+ million dollars cap space! Why not spend 4 on one of the best kickers in the league! And you are right of course. G.Wilson is almost as good as J.Bullocks and Stroud is not nearly as good as oft injured B.Young. Oh and let's not forget our boy J.David. I'm sure Florence would have done just as poorly as David did last year. Hell, my grandmother could have done a better job than David did last year and she's been dead for 5 years! It's all abou GETTING better! Florence, Brown, Wilson and Stroud ALL would have easily have done that. Of that, I am positive.
