Can we keep Nicks in 4 days?!

ChrisXVI · 03-09-2012, 08:25 PM

According to Carl Nicks... “In my mind, I pretty much am gone, to be honest. They’re gonna do something in the next four days that they haven’t done in the last four weeks?” said Nicks, referring to the lack of a contract proposal from the Saints. “I really don’t think so.”
They're gonna let him go guys. No doubt about it. Considering that we have bigger fish to fry with Drew being pissed and not really wanting to play in NOLA anymore after the fallout... Nicks is an afterthought. So who takes his place??

"In my mind, I pretty much am gone, to be honest," said Nicks, the top offensive guard on the market. The Saints still haven't so much as made a contract offer, and appear to have washed their hands of the two-time Pro Bowler and 2011 first-team All Pro. Nicks should have no shortage of suitors in free agency. At the very least, Nicks should expect bidding from Chicago and Dallas.

A lot can happen in four days, whatever happens; it'll all work out in the end...

He's gone. Question is... who takes his place? Our highest draft picks (assuming that we still have them come April) are going to be spent on defensive players that fit Spagnuolo's defensive scheme. We absolutely will not have the money to spend in free agency on a decent replacement. Who's on the roster now that we can trust with protecting Drew? Assuming of course that he's even our QB when next season rolls around.

I at least go for one or the other Nicks or Colston, but Nicks additude throughout the whole process has been down right bogus!!!! This is what you wanted had Condon to do!!! Now you are upset that a team that is right at the cap is struggling to make you an offer!!!

You'll owe me $20. Jerry Jones has already said he would be their biggest target if he hits the market. I don't think Atlanta can compete with Daddy War Bucks.
