I understand wanting to keep some Veterans around..... And too I bet there are still some spite issues.... Some I would love to have you around when I stick it to this B*&^% Goodell.... You should be talking about who he didn't ask to restructure and why...... Harper..... Greer..... those guys are making big money to......

I think Harper will be asked to restructure it will be cut depending on the draft.I think he still has things to offer in the next season or two.I fully agree that we are in a position to paper over the cracks for a couple of years.
Keep the backbone of the team together another couple if years then its time for a massive splash in FA and draft in 3 years time. |

Re: Saints to ask Vilma and Smith to restructure
The Saint organization really holds the power in both of these. Not that this is an unfair request for either anyway.
