It's quite possible we'll be parting with Vilma :sob: and his 6.6mil contract for 2012 and more beyond...

All good things, I'm still a fan...

If so, is Lofton/Hawthorne the solution...

Scott Shanle could be a cap casualty - his number this year is 2.95mil per spotrac.com - that should make some of the Shanle haters happy - I think he's been a fine Saint, even if he's not been a ProBowler...

Another cap casualty could be Will Herring - his injury time and lack of production along with his cap number 1.73mil this year could expose him; the smart move would be for his agent to redo the contract with incentives, roll the dice and win a Superbowl and hit the market with a ring with two fleur-de-lis on it...

Some will be surprised if the Saints part ways with Devery Henderson, especially with the departure of Meachem, but consider depth at the position and his cap number of 3.12mil this year and his limited playing time - expect Devery and the Saints to renegotiate...

Still, really hate the contract for Roman Harper - now we're tied to a Gregg Williams' system guy; he'll play another year here at 6.25mil for 2012 then 7mil per annum the following two years - Spagnuolo won't tolerate his poor pass coverage...

I'd feel better about Drew's contract if Tom Condon wasn't his agent...

One signing that may have slipped under the radar was Eric Olsen, C; I really wanted to draft this guy out of :gulp: Notre Dame; so I've updated the list...

We've actually got some good reserve linebackers who need playing time for development (as, I've argued, has been the case of WR Arrington) which may be why the Saints have been "methodical" in their free agency approach...

Hopefully, Monday afternoon, I can update this thread with Linebacker and Quarterback positive announcements...

Got a feeling the Saints are waiting for the NFL Beatdown announcement so the Saints FO can counter with some FA news...
