Free agency could significantly impact New Orleans Saints' 2011 roster

I only care about keeping Lance Moore and Carl Nicks.

I've always supported Goodwin but with all the re-signings and upgrades that need to take place, he's replaceable. Tennant was one of the top centers in the draft when we selected him... I think he'll be capable of taking over if Goodwin's contract isn't re-upped.

Moore and Nicks are the must keeps. I'd like to retain PT and Charleston also... everyone else is replaceable.

Tennant is the new Faine.
Eager to see if Brown can supplant Bushrod.
Stinchcomb - will be back.

If Harper isn't brought back, a lot of hard feelings after his performance against Seattle, Sharper could be a solution, at least for one year, at strong safety. He played there in Minnesota. Yeah, he's old, but I never seen him run down by a QB. Best of all, there won't be as many blown coverages and miscommunications with a HOFer back there. We could draft a Safety and Sharper could be a mentor. Sharper should be cheaper than Harper, too.

What do you guys think?

I think Harper was exploited well by Seattle.
He's better in run support than coverage.
He had a bad game.
We missed Jenkins.

Wish we could've used him more to blitz Hasselback.

during the game one of the broadcasters said that if someone went to block harper he seemed to give up his coverage and it worked 3 times.

Every team is in a similar boat to the saints. It all will depend on marketing. There are a lot of guys who want the ring. And there are many more who only want to cash in. I just hope that mr. Brees doesn't think he's entitled to so much that all we can field is a bunch of journeymen. Just because they wear a sb ring doesn't mean they were the only reason everyone else is wearing one. Remember, this was an uncapped year. Next season will have a cap enforced, and if you think that injuries hurt us THIS year, wait. We need depth - overpriced talent is no longer a luxury.

So you are saying Faine SUCKED? Because if you are then I will agree on that point.

Outside of that I know know if Tennant is ready.
