Re: An X-factor in the Sean Payton decision
 

That will depend on a lot of things.. Restructuring could take some players out of the picture. The FT for a given position could be higher than what some players new contracts would be...

If you had asked in August I would have said Jimmy Graham but since he has the most dropped passes in the league presently I would have to rethink that.

Re: An X-factor in the Sean Payton decision
 

Not sure why's he dropping passes but I'd hate to even consider losing Jimmy Graham. Also isn't he good till '15?

Re: An X-factor in the Sean Payton decision
 

Graham is under contract for next season, so he will not get the franchise tag in any case.

I was just wondering if Loomis will try to get a new long-term contract signed with him this offseason as opposed to letting the contract run into its last year and possibly the next offseason after that.




Nope, he'll be an UFA after next season.

Re: An X-factor in the Sean Payton decision
 

He'll likely be suspended for the season so his contract won't matter.

I'll pay Will Smith to leave!

I see at least 3 names on that list that probably won't be on the team next year. (As much as I hate to see any of them go)
