This wasn't a good day for the Saints, by any means. But this is the price of success in the NFL. Other teams are always waiting in line to snag your best players.

Two words for the team you had over the past few seasons... "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

^ Hope so.
The Saints kind of remind me of the 2000 Ravens in that respect. They did what they had to do to get the trophy but had to pay afterwards. Though they kept the basic structure of the team to keep competitive. I think Saints can do that too! Thank you too, Bro! |

Just wondering, BTW it still was an awesome signing for you guys, I think you overpaid a little though!!!! |

When success shows up, everyone will be looking for their reward money.
The ugly truth is, we can't reward everybody. It's just a fact. Some other teams will have to fork up reward money to pay for our past success, and hope future success comes along with it. Would be nice to have KC or Tampa CAP space where we could afford to pay everybody, but then we would have been 6-and-10. |

We've lost good players before. Just be glad that we haven't lost more players along the way.

Besides, when we won seven games without Jackson in 2010 With that said... when the Patsies won three titles, they didn't have any high profile receivers. They had a solid team in all areas. That's what it takes. |
