Saints actually offer free agent tenders to 10 players

An ealier report stated that the New Orleans Saints had offered free agent tenders to three players they are hoping to retain throughout free agency. Those players are Lance Moore, Jeff Charleston, and Jermon Bushrod.

On top of signing defensive tackle Shaun Rogers and agreeing to terms with kicker Garrett Hartley, the Saints actually stayed really busy on Tuesday by offering tenders to 10 players in total. Not all financial terms for offers were disclosed by the team nor how long each was for.

Saints players offered tenders on Tuesday:

RB Pierre Thomas
OG Carl Nicks
TE David Thomas
S Usama Young - third round restricted free agent tender
S Roman Harper
DT Remi Ayodele
K Garrett Hartley
WR Lance Moore - second round restricted free agent tender
DE Jeff Charleston
OT Jermon Bushrod - second round restricted free agent tender

Again, the NFL and NFLPA's Collective Bargaining Agreement expires on Thursday so it will be a shock if all or any of these deals get signed before then. That's excluding Hartley of course who is said to be signing his new five-year deal on Wednesday.

I love roman harper and all, but I'm hoping we get an upgrade at the safety position at some point.

I can honesty stay we need all these guys back to get back to the Superbowl. We can upgrade Bushrod position but I wouldn't let him go he's shows he can play in this league. The only player on this list that can walk is Usama Young.

C'mon, Halo. Other than Lance Moore, Harper may be the most underrated & underappreciated player on the team.....IMO.

Please please please cut Usama. Guy can't cut it at this level.

Wouldn't mind seeing us keep Roman, remember how long it took us to lock down a good safety?

Unless a healthy Bob Sanders is coming in, Harper is staying in NO

RaginCajun83 · 03-02-2011, 01:55 PM

I've heard Sanders linked to Jags, Giants, Bills and was to meet with the Jets today, if they could land him I'd be all for it just dont see it happening

All of them need to get signed now.

The sooner we get their signatures, the better. I'm in agreement with most of them. The group works well together. Why mess up the magic?!

I'm gonna let you guys "have it" each and every time Roman Harper gets left in his cleats next year. In the second half of the season I saw no indication that he could hold his own.
