Hopefully the Saints will actually pull the trigger on this one. Vilma, Briggs and Fujita sounds like a pretty good linebacking crew. It also frees up the draft focus to be on DBs and DL. Trade for Stroud if the price is right and suddenly this defense has the potential to go from very bad to very good in one season.

it would be a huge upgrade to get both vilma and briggs... 1 down.. 1 to go!!!

it does sound too good to be true...I would love for it to happen but if i had to bet, i would say that it doesnt get done.

Would be amazing if it happened. Any confirmation from the Saints that he's coming for a visit?

I haven't been able to find any confirmation on the net of a visit scheduled, but hopefully the front office is at least talking to his agent.

awesome if we can possibly land Briggs and Gay its gonna make this years draft so much more fun to guess who will we draft. My first choice would be trade up and get Ellis or Dorsey or stay put and draft Cromartie or Kenny Phillips.

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.

yes but the real question is whether or not they are willing to spend more... they didnt want to increase the ammount last year when they had him franchised and briggs got pissed for it.. im thinkin he might sign somewhere else out of spite

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

Pretty scrary isn't it?

and im not impressed by any of the guys u just mentioned except for maybe florence.. the rest.. well, im not willing to pay 4 mil to a kicker, gabril wilson is highly overrated and stroud is too often injured and is on the downside of his career


who else are u seriously wanting us to go after.. most of the top FAs were resigned by their teams or franchised...

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.
Look they offered Asante samuel a huge contract they offered Zach Thomas a bigger contract than he recived from the Cowboys what do you want them to do put a gun to there heads and say sign on the dotted line.

i never said G. Wilson wasnt as good as bullocks.. i think that he is.. but only marginally.. im not into bringing in someone elses mediocre starter and thats what he is.. if he was that spectacular, dont you think he would have been resigned by the giants.. well he wasnt.. and their secondary was horrible this year.. only time they played descent was in the playoffs and thats cuz they were getting mad pressure on the QB

Stroud wasnt a FA and was traded for undisclosed multiple draft picks.. not only that but i believe our FO wants to get younger on D not older and on the decline...

we traded for mare with a 6th round pick and i doubt it would have affected our draft, and dont even say we might have found another colston cuz that just doesnt happen every day...

while brown would have been nice to have, im still not into giving high money for kickers.. especially when we are going to have to resign some of our big name guys next year I.E. Colston and Smith


one more thing.. if you call me guy one more time.. its seriously going to aggravate me, and ur not going to like that outcome... I am an ADMINISTRATOR here at BnG.com and you will respect me and you will respect the mods here unlike you have done in the past...
