Saints' Loomis, Payton should be applauded for free agency moves

I just hope that they will be able to work out a new contract with SP and that he will be motivated to stay and continue
to build on what they've already accomplished since 2006. I mean there's always the chance that he would want a new challenge,
but hopefully that will be a decade down the road.

Another issue is how long will the Saints be able to hold on to GW, since he has already been targeted for head coaching positions,
and I have to believe that he will not be content at just staying a DF long term. Also, finally, I think that if the ST play does not pick up
this year - which I think it will due to the emphasis it has been given in the camp - McMahon's position has to be addressed!

Oh, and lock up ML for long term!

I hope he stays too, and I'm pretty sure as long as we keep Brees, SP isn't going anywhere. I like a good tenured coach (like Belichick), players want to play for guys like this.

As for GW, I couldn't blame the guy if he left for a head coaching job, because I'm quite sure that's his ultimate goal, but I hope he remembers that SP gave him $250k of his own salary and hired his son to get him here (that has to hold at least some weight right?). His departure is inevitable, but hopefully its not imminent.

Not only do I agree with you that the ST play needs to be addressed, but strength and conditioning also needs to be addressed if we have as many injuries as we had last year.
