Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
The case against signing Jermon Bushrod...
First, asking price will be too high... Second, the position is in need of upgrade/better play... Third, Jimmy Graham will need to be resigned... Fourth, how much will be committed to the offensive line?!? Fifth, Saints Offensive Protection is based around the guards and Brees' read/release speed, not the tackles... |

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
Loomis has to get with owner and decide how many contracts they'll convert (ie Brees, Evans, Grubbs, etc) to singing bonuses so the Saints can not only get under the salary cap, but make moves in Free Agency...

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
What if we cut 70-75% of our defensive players? How much moolah would that save? I can think of four, maybe five names I'd be disappointed not hear being called out next year. If you're wondering who those names are, they're the only ones being called for making good plays this year. Too bad Spags' paycheck doesn't count against the cap...

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
Because of their salaries, I expect Will Smith, Roman Harper, and Jon Vilma to be released...
Cam Jordan has played solid; Bunkley found his place, but could be a cap casualty; the other linebackers need to get healthy and develop chemistry... If Jenkins can move to the RCB or SS, then we can worry about a natural Free Safety; Jarius Byrd would be great, but is he affordable with needs in the front seven? |

Bunkley would cost us 3.6 million to cut him, and 3.7 million to keep him. Why do you think he'd be a cap casualty? Agreed on all else tho. |
