Jason Brown released

Report: Rams cutting center Jason Brown - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

He's a big, physical center and could look good between Nicks and Evans. Assuming, of course, that he doesn't cost too much and we're able to retain Nicks. Please, don't take this as a knock on DLP.

With the cap as it is, and with the Saints having had success last year with De la Puente as the center, and also with the Saints already having a center backup in Tennant - I doubt they would make a play for him.

Also, there are other teams looking for centers, so I think he might attract some suitors, which, in turn, might inflate his price.

I like your thinking JCP. But I agree with Fin.

Brown would be good signing so if we can pull it off sign him.

While I agree with signing Brown; if we get Nicks and Colston back, I would rather see that money spent on defense.

**edit**
Notice I didn't include Drew in the "If we sign".

I believe he graded out as one of the worst players at his position the past two years if I remember correctly.

He has been paid a lot of money in the past, but was short-changed by the Rams out of the most lucrative years of his former contract, so I think he might feel like he is entitled big(ish) money which the Saints can't afford right now.

The meaning behind my earlier post was that he probably won't be looking to give anybody any discounts - regardless of how much he eventually ends up getting - and, therefore, I doubt the Saints would be interested.
