Here's the tweet:

Broedrick Bunkley to Saints: 5 yrs, $25m with $9m fully grntd.

papz · 03-21-2012, 01:11 PM

Saints signed DT Brodrick Bunkley to a five-year, $25 million contract with $9 million guaranteed.

With GM Mickey Loomis' suspension not yet implemented, it's business as usual in the Saints' front office as the team stays the course amid bounty scandal discipline. The Broncos were making a "hard" push to re-sign Bunkley as of Tuesday, but the Saints apparently beat Denver's offer. Bunkley has only six sacks in six seasons, but he is an effective one-gap, 4-3 nose tackle. He projects as an upgrade on outgoing Shaun Rogers and Aubrayo Franklin.

You will have to excuse me if I don't wet my pants with excitement!

I wonder what our cap space looks like now, if Goodell didn't take that too...

papz · 03-21-2012, 01:14 PM

Loomis doing work regardless. With our losses, Loomis is making sure he prepares us for the season. Didn't think we were actually going to sign him. I wouldn't be surprised if we made another big move.

Curtis Lofton??? Drew's not going anywhere. He's such a great leader, but where is he when his team and his fans need him. He was never accepted in SD, but he was welcomed with open minds and arms here in the NO but this is what we get?? Sign Lofton and let Brees sit if he wants then franchise his arse again next year. He won't have many good years left after that anyway, but maybe good for a trade for us. Sorry, but I'm just tired of his "I'm the good guy BS".

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