How much money do you think Carl Nicks will get?

Papz, until the Saints gave Evans his contract, they had a history of not paying OL. They let a number of good OL players walk in the past. That being said, paying Nicks, and Goody makes sense. They want continuity on the OL. Stinch is a Brees favorite and I do not think he will be replaced this year. Bushrod, imho, can be replaced but will not. If you noticed during the 2010 season, he did receive a lot of help. The short off-season and surgery might not help Brown.

IMHO, the Saints see a 5-year window with Brees and they will do all they can to ensure he has protection...and continuity on the OL helps. I also see Strief as a 5th TE for blocking.
