Also it's not just what the Saints offer him, as a RFA, we would have to match other offers, from other teams. This could get really sticky, really fast.

The person in my example is Jason Smith, currently listed as 3rd team. Do they now go back and pay the four players in front of him 12 million also?

The point is, pay Pierre what he's worth but what Reggie is being paid is irrelevant.
