Can we draft and cut fans also? Some preform as well as our defense in week 1.

I'm going to have to flip flop on my previous views about drafting defense with all the early draft picks. I want a dominant LT to protect Brees instead of the DT or DE I've been calling for in the first round of the draft.

We will not be able to afford a quality DT or DE in free agency. Now I believe we need to go with the OT who we can sign to a long term deal under the new CBA.
Hopefully, there will be a defensive impact player after the first round that we can sign to another long term cap friendly deal.

Remember that Ellis is coming off the books...

And Will Smith, Jabari Greer, and Roman Harper are likely cap casualties with their cap numbers...

I don't see Greer going anywhere...

I like Greer, but age and health are going to be a factor...

agreed. but

i do not think greer recovered from that groan injury till now. i put money it is still bugging him. age has nothing to do with that injury or healing time.

but age is a factor.

Just ran across WR Steve Smith name as a free agent with the rams.
not the one in carolina
i bet he can added a fair market price.

I guess whether or not the Saints need another "big time" WR depends on what Toon's situation will be when the offseason practices begin and/or what happens with Henderson's future with the team.

Morgan has shown that he can be that speedster stretching the field, so while Henderson is good at blocking - although he had that one holding penalty against the Bucs - they might decide to part ways with him for the sake of youth.

I think Colston, Moore, Morgan, and Toon are a solid corps of receivers when we factor in also the TEs and the backs catching the ball, and they still have Andy Tanner on the PS, so I don't think that position is of a high need... although they do need some depth behind those guys, but they've been able to find some real talent from the UDFA pool before, so that might be the way to go when building depth at the WR position.

Why do we need to part ways with Devery?!? I'd still make him an offer...

He's still got excellent speed and despite his role, he gives 100% unless concussed...

Our WR corps of Colston, Moore, Henderson, Morgan, Roby is diverse, capable and affordable...

Plus we have Jimmy Graham coming off the line and Sproles and Thomas out of the backfield...

And the Saints Coaches thought enough of Toon to keep put him on IR and develop him and his health for another season...

Sure Calvin and Andre Johnson are awesome...but you gotta leave some money for an offensive tackle and the defense...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
