Great move in getting Grubbs before he visits with anyone else. Now let's see about getting a LB!

This proves it was all about the money for Nicks, which is cool we aren't going quietly!!! Way to get up off the mat!!! This was the respectable deal he was speaking of!!!

Saints signed OG Ben Grubbs, formerly of the Ravens, to a five-year, $36 million deal.

The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, and $16 million "fully guaranteed." Grubbs provides the Saints a soft landing after they lost LG Carl Nicks to the Bucs, but at a surprisingly steep cost. Grubbs landed just $11.5 million less total money, and will average roughly $2 million less per season. Grubbs graded out as Pro Football Focus' sixth-best left guard in 2011, but Nicks was significantly better in both run and pass blocking. Nicks is also more than a year younger. The Ravens will likely now focus on signing free agent Evan Mathis to replace Grubbs.

Great job Saints.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
