I was more so referring to your "being jacked in the head" comment with Moss. Hall of Famer or not, still willing to gamble.

He may have been a head case earlier in his younger years, but at this stage in his career/life, that's debatable. That said, I don't have issues with the Saints willingness to give guys with character issues second chances... as long as the risk factors aren't outlandish. 5-20 years, that kind of fits the bill. Now if that weren't the case, I would definitely kick the tires on his talent if the price was right.. I think he fits Spags' system perfectly minus the baggage.

Can't agree anymore with that statement...

Despite the BountyGate Media Attention, the Saints handle their business internally and prefer a NDZ = No Drama Zone...

Despite the investment in Shockey was bounced.

A possible, anything this year would not surprise me. He's not bad when his heads on right.

Hell to the no!

Well he'd be under $2M for the season which wouldn't be that bad, but he would be an UFA in a year's time, so with all the other issues associated with him - I'd say no to trading for him.

Of course, at the moment the Saints don't even have that little under $2M in cap space...

i wish the nfl would do their thing with harper and vilma. that should free up cap space some how. it just does not seem fair to hit us for their salaries while they are out. Suspended without pay like they did with SP.

i can not wait to see how long the court cases in the players charges goes on. this will be much harder to prove and it should open the nfl up to questions on how long and what they did to monitor the events. ok thread hijacking

asnte is a bit long in the tooth and is injury prone. talib is a punk that could be had for cheap and signed with a behavior clause. myself i am looking at saftey over CB right now.

FA ? Atogwe is now on the market. Remember the Spags system does not believe in true SS. more of a CB/FS/SS type.

I like the Atogwe idea.

Randy Moss was a trash talker and a selfish teammate at times... Talib tried to shoot somebody...
