Future of the Franchise

Well Brees got the Tag now, so we probably have to say goodbye to Nicks, Colston, Porter and Meacham, at least to some of them.

If you ask me we try to sign as many players as we can to a short deal, see if we can win it next year and if we don´t win it we have to start rebuilding. Supberbowl in 2014 will be outside in New York, where we don´t have a shot with the current team anyway.

SO I say go all in after guys like Moss, Ward and other players that got released. Redo the Passrush with young guns like Galette and Romeos and rebuild the team.

If we don´t win it next year bye bye Brees - this is a tough one, but I think the right move - bye bye Vilma and so on!

We need a longterm contract for Jimmy #80 Graham

Wow is the sky fall'in, really is it. Maybe thay are still trying to work out a deal. Looking on the bright side.

Even IF they are, we now wasted our tag.

I do hope so, I´m just sayin...

I don´t want the Saints to pay Nicks elite money and spend half their franchise on two Guards.

That was just a plan b)
