Willis McGehee, RB (BAL)- a veteran RB that will accept his job as a role player and i bet he would be cap friendly

this is all a big "IF" with bush

Bad Hagan! Bad! Someone get me a newspaper.

The last thing we need is "Bad Knees" McGehee. The kid barely played his first season because both of his knees were DESTROYED in his last year of college. Everyone is one snap away from a career ending injury, but McGehee is a stiff breeze away from a career ending injury. I wouldn't lay down money that he could survive hurricane season, much less an NFL season. Pass.


On the other hand, with Shockey gone, I wouldn't have a problem with taking on Todd Heap for a little more veteran instruction for Graham. Heap spent most of his career as the primary pass catcher for Baltimore. I would be pleased to see him as a #3 TE with another SB Ring on his hand before he retires. (Yes, I'm a closet Baltimore fan, sue me.)

No, that long string of horrible QBs is what screwed you over many times in Fantasy. Then he started getting hurt, but by that time no one should have been drafting him anyway.

You can't gauge real talent on fantasy. AB was a kickass fantasy QB. Nuff said.

Things can change pretty damn fast in todays NFL.
Tampa still isn't going to be a Super Bowl contender any time soon, so I don't think that is a valid comparison. TB improved a lot, but in a division with us and Atlanta both peaking... Nope. It's like Houston, no matter how much they improve, they won't be contenders until Peyton retires. Carolina and Tampa have two great teams to deal with. They won't be contenders for a long time, and there isn't much they can do to change that.

True...

And some of these signings should help in the real world..

Saints have now re-signed Jermon Bushrod, Lance Moore, Scott Shanle, Roman Harper, Pierson Prioleau, Leigh Torrence, Chris Reis, Danny Clark, and Jo-Lonn Dunbar...

Plus, they've added RB Darren Sproles, FB Korey Hall and OLB Will Herring to geaux with the early offseason signing of DT Shaun Rogers...

The Saints have lost Remi Ayodele and Usama Young...

All are good player I just don't think we need any of them for the money they may want. The only guy I would look at is Tood Heap but he's not going to want to be a 3 stringer TE.
