I love me some Carl Nicks blocking, don't get me wrong. I absolutely am crazy for the guy. I hope they sign him.

But unfortunately, my gut tells me that behind the scenes, we may be seeing sort of a "soft sell" transition out of the idea of seeing Carl Nicks in a Saints uniform:

1) the fight/argument with the coaches during the Rams game
2) they gave him that one year deal in 2010, right after Jahri Evans got that huge contract coming off the Super Bowl
3) Drew's vague and bittersweet comments, about looking around the locker room and not knowing which guys will be back next year -- now remember when Drew broke the record, Nicks was the one who gave him a big bear hug and picked him up in the air
4) Nicks led the Who Dat Chant at the Lions playoff game
5) then there was that whole weird thing at the beginning of last year, August of 2010, where he got temporarily demoted to second string in training camp. Something was up with that, or maybe it was just nothing. Who knows. But I felt like it could been either Super Bowl hangover, or maybe that his frustration at Jahri getting that huge deal and not him, was reflected in his attitude during practice, the first week back, so the coaches sat him

But these things, especially #4, which assuming at that time, we were gonna go up to Green Bay, they knew it could be his last home game as a Saint, makes me wonder. We'll see, though.
