Faine, Goodwin, Nicks.... C'mon man!

They offered Nicks. He was bent on leaving. And as far as the center position goes, our current starter was a journeyman who never saw the field for another team, and now is starting and playing well for the Saints.

The Saints have always done well plugging holes in the line. I'm not overly concerned about it. I'd like to see Bushrod back, but, not at an outrageous price.

That's my point. Tackles aren't the only lineman the Saints aren't committed to over-paying. They've let all of their top FA interior guys walk. And filled the void fairly well.

That being said, it's time to upgrade RT and get some depth at line.

Agreed. Apparently Charles Brown hasn't panned out. Not sure if that's due to injury or not. They actually seem to do better with the draft picks they take in the later rounds.
