I doubt that very much. He is the most likely Saints' FA to be over-payed by another team, because many still remember him as the "Manning-killer" from the Super Bowl - that'll probably diminish the effect of his actual stats.

The Saints' FO have a figure in mind for which they would be willing to re-sign Porter, but it's very likely that some other team will offer Porter more - then it's just a matter of whether Porter wants to remain a Saint or follow the money.

I would actually like to see him stay.... There are a few instances like porter where I have to wonder..... Is is Porter or it is GW?

I'm with Danno and others on this. I have felt all along that we have decent talent on the D side, it was just the way GW used them. Some coaches tailor their scheme around the type of talent they have and some...well some just do whatever the hell they want no mater who is playing. Not mentioning any names Greg Williams. Oops, did I just say a name?

I say let's see what Spags and company can do with them.

Porter is good. He's no Deon Sanders, I get that, but the fact is....WE HAVE NO PASS RUSH!!. Even during the SB pick, as Boomer stated...

"They brought everybody" and still, they got nowhere near Manning. Porter read that route like a Road Scholar. Get him a little help up front and he can make plays is what i say. I'd even say that for all our CB's. They are simply not getting much help in that dept.

If he could be returned to a friendly cap number, why not bring him back?

And with the changes in the coaching staff, he may get back on track...

I really believe that Tracy is a good DB. I think he let a lot of the media hype about him go to his head. If he comes cheap, I'm all for the re-signing of him. If he wants big money.... thanks for the INT in the SB!
