I'm not getting rid of Greer if we do that were starting back over with we needing to get a starting corner. Look until we get a pass rush we can't just throw anybody back there and hope they make a play.

Agree we need to keep Greer and Harper should go via a trade for a lineman or some draft picks. Also Ellis needs to go wish we could get a strong safety for him. Hope the concentrate on defensive players and see if they can pick up one good offensive lineman that could relieve the others.

I agree with these choices. Regarding Greer, it is always curious how a player will work out in a new scheme.

I believe Franklin and Rogers only had 1 year deals so there wouldn't be any need for releasing only resigning if Spags wanted either of them.

I doubt anyone wants to make a trade for Eliis with his current contract only being for one more year at $6M, if the Saints were able to restructure his contract to be more attractive that would be another situation completely, but then they'd run into the same problem with guaranteed money which would make a trade highly unlikely. I guess trading for Ellis would only be attractive to a team that needs to get to the salary cap floor and with Ellis they'd know he'd be off the books come next season, but I think there are better such options available with a better value in the actual player in comparison to his salary. |

Getting rid of Greer is a terrible idea, Will Smith needs to restructure or be released, same with Ellis and Vilma. I could see Devery being cut if the plan is to bring back Colston and Meachem but this team needs at least one deep threat to keep the middle and short routes open

The only ones that I see going is Smith and Vilma unless they restructure. I could see both doing that too. At this point they both know they are up in years and have made their money. Super Bowl and finishing their career on a winning team should be first on their mind. Cut their pay in half and keep them in a rotation or load it with incentives. Porter will be gone. His play dropped off and Robinson and Patrick would be a nice fill in. All three big boys will be signed.

for the love of god stop gutting the defense and starting over.
Spags clam to fame is winning with what he has. then adding and subtracting in small moves. ie draft and maybe a FA or two. Look to next year for any really major moves if there is any to be made |
