If someone offers a 1st and a 3rd for Nicks do you take it?

spkb25 · 07-30-2011, 07:14 AM

Absolutely not. I don't think there is any way he leaves, unless he is unreasonable. He is a massive part of our success. We need to keep those big boys on the inside

When you get an elite player, you do your best to keep him. In this shortened offseason, with no suitable replacement in the organization, and having a team ready for a Super Bowl run, no, you don't listen to any offers. Although, I think the UDFA G Johnson from Florida will make the roster and has the skills.

If it were some other year, yes maybe you consider it.

But not this year. Too much at stake. We're looking at another team along the lines of the 09 squad. Let's not mess with it too much.

I'm going with a "No" on this, but just barely.

Couldn't agree more. QB protection, especially OUR QB, should come first. Agreed, that so long as it doesn't interfere with Drews contract, this is a must have.

I don't think anyone would do it. Not only is it a 1st and 3rd, they're going to have to fork out a 60 million dollar extension for him. That's some heavy compensation.

I'm glad he's going to be a Saint for a very long time.

If somebody gave you a 1st and 3rd round pick for Jabari Greer would you take it?
