We got Bunkley!!!

Marlboro Man · 03-21-2012, 01:15 PM

Bunkly is just coming into his own. He's one of the "Up and Coming" players the Saints like to sign just as they start to shine. Not to mention he's playing better than Ellis has in his career.

Ellis who?
I hope this guys lights a fire under Ellis.
Ellis should be looking for paper at the end of this season.
He may have his own fire already started, at least I hope so.

I sure hope so. I was one who wanted him to get drafted and have supported him until this last year when he had the talent next to him that should have let him shine and he disappeared again. I'm ready to move on.

I didn't really want to draft him, I wanted Keith Rivers, but I have supported him and wasn't really disappointed until last season.

look for a middle linebacker next to take vilmas place looks like league will crucifiy .him.i still feel ok . loomis will take care of bussiness and get brees signed plus the other parts we need before his suspension. then spags and carmike can take it and run with it and throw it in godell face by winning a superbowl

I'm happy that they were able to sign Bunkley and the $5M/yr cap hit isn't as bad as it could've been with the Broncos also trying to get him re-signed.

I believe Spags will be able to get more production out of him than the Saints got out of both Franklin and Rogers last season combined.

At least we now have one D player that can play this coming year.

10 more to go.

NOLA54 · 03-21-2012, 02:12 PM

The next big deal will be Drew's contract.

Also, this from Jeff Duncan:

Some good news for WhoDats. RT @Chambo57: Shocked by the harsh punishments but pumped for my visit to New Orleans tomorrow with the Saints!!

So much for Mark Schlereth and his "guys won't want to play there." Well, hopefully, anyway. >>Knocks Wood<<

Key signings remaining...
Drew Brees (Obviously)

MLB (especially if Vilma is suspended for the year).
Lofton is choice #1, then resign Jo-Lonn on the cheap.

OLB-I like that Henderson kid.

The rest we can sign a bunch of J.A.G.'s as role players cheaply.
