u are on a roll my friend. One day I will take you up on your beer offer...Dixie of course!

btw; like you, I was scratching my head with the Saints picks...but have come to understand. The perspective around the league is the Saints do not like to pay top $$$$$ to OL. They select and rotate (i.e. look for J. Brown to be elsewhere this year).

We will see how this league perspective works with J. Evans now, and Nicks in the not too distant future.

BI

there may be something to that theory... Willie Roaf comes to mind. When he was let go or traded (I forget which - I know he ended up in K.C.) after many years with the Saints, he was looking for more money, correct?

You are spot on (not to mention Horn was having his way with Roaf's wife), and add Faine to the mix. There were several other guards as well that left when they could not get paid the $$$$$ they thought they should receive. Someone else may remember the names (I believe one went to the Falclowns).
