It's been a looong time since we had Ninkovich ... maybe even the Haslett years. No worries.

Yep- and I said this before, I think this is his last year with us

I don't think so. You know we may have a couple late bloomers....Bussey and Romeus. Who knows maybe next year both of them will upgrade the LB and DE positions. Here's hoping.

I'll let you decide, I already know the answer...

Saints defensive end Will Smith has agreed to a new six-year contract extension that could be worth up to $70 million, a league source said Wednesday afternoon.

The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money.

The deal will make Smith the third highest-paid defensive end in the NFL, behind Minnesota's Jared Allen and Indianapolis' Dwight Freeney.

WOW ... didn't realize they were paying Smith that much, hopefully these young guys develop so the Saints can unload that god awful contract to resign Drew and the rest of the core players to longer deals

Really happy for Ninkovich; he had a series of misfortunes with injuries before we had to let him go. Good to see he's somewhere playing, even more so starting for a winning team. I liked that we drafted him all those years ago, and I felt he could have helped us out somewhere along the way. Just as long as he don't beat us then I am good and with no worries. Good job, Rob.

That's not the only awful contract we have on the books on defense...
