Saints replaced Faine and Goodwin, I got faith that Loomis will find a way to replace Nicks

I never blame football players leaving for the money. TB was way under the cap and there was no way we could of given him that kind of money with our cap situation. I wish him the best except for the 2 times he plays us each year. Time to move on and sign Grubbs and use the extra money on defense.

Nice... yet another now valuable compensatory pick... how many more can we get? Another from tracy porter perhaps?

Nobody thought very highly or Evans or Nicks. We are good at bringing in late round players and coaching them up to play at a high level. I'd like to see Bushrod at LG and Brown at LT. 31 mil guarantted for a guard is REDICULOUS. Sign Drew and get to work on the D.

Bushrod wouldn't be effective as a guard, and Brown wouldn't stay healthy long enough to make a difference.

Drew has A LOT to do with why these linemen look so good. 1.5 second release and very nifty feet in the pocket.

I couldn't agree more. I'm not slacking on Nicks, because he is excellent with no question. It's not even up for debate...

...however...

Drew makes these guys look even better. I'm happy for Nicks to be sure, but Tampa over payed.

Pay Day for him. Guess money does trump all. Big names & big bucks do not always = wins.
