I do understand why Flacco would be asking for that type of money, and I do understand why the Ravens would want to re-sign him, especially now after they won the SB with Flacco.

But, if they are going to give Flacco the type of contract New Orleans just gave Drew Brees - I have severely overestimated how good of a GM Ozzie Newsome really is.

Although, them having to overpay Flacco would mean that they couldn't keep hold on to some of their players, which could be a good thing as far as the Saints are concerned.

He's already turned down 16 million a year, he wants his Brees/Brady money...

Didn't know that,interesting.
I'd franchise him and try to trade him or let him walk.Good but not elite.

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets

With a WR group of Boldin and Torrey Smith, and at TE Pitta, the guys has virtually nothing receiver wise to deal with. They have an elite RB, but I don't think any WR/TE on their roster starts on the Saints. Maybe Boldin.

In fact, did anyone in the playoffs have a worse WR/TE group?

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets

I thought Pitta was a pretty decent TE?

He's good, but compared to TE's like Gonzalez, Graham, Gronk, Vernon Davis, Daniels, Gresham etc he comes up a bit short IMO.

agreed but he is a better blocker than most of TE listed. he is more of a complete TE and better at receiving than Graham and Daniels. a blocking TE is what the saints need in the running game
