The Saints have faired much better staying away from high/mid dollar FAs.
I would even say signing those kinds of players says you don't have a lot of faith in your staff. We almost made the playoffs, we had a shot even with the worst defense the NFL has seen in a long time. We'll be fine.

ive presented this same argument...but keenen lewis was a good pick up hopefully. Anything else from here on out is lagniappe. But brees contract is going to be the elephant in the room for the next few years.

Cams got some help after a near miss on the post season

What are we waiting for ? Charles Woodson , James Harrison , Nnamdi , somebody !!!

We can't just keep turning our smug noses up at players were getting smoked on free agency even worse in our own division which was hard enough to win ...

If nothing comes of free agency We better be grabbing some dynamic players like Tyrann or someone that can tackle

Can I ask a question? Have any games been lost because others decided to retool. I'll quote our reinstated coach " I know it's hard when your in the lunch line and you see someone walking past with the subway sandwich, and you got carrots"

Checked the cap figures lately? Mickey Loomis is trying to retool this d fense, and upgrade our OL, especially the LT position literally with pennies, nickels and dimes.....and was still right there on Kruger, Nnamdi's still deciding, and Victor Butler will be back cause he has no where else to go. Patience is often underrated in situations like this, thank our lucky stars that the people the Bensons put in leadership have it in spades...... #who dat!!!!

Are we making an effort to address our needs is all I'm concerned about. Anyone can be a paper champ.

We are bringing in the players that will help this team.......unfortunately we can't force them to choose New Orleans.
Butler just signed a two year contract.
Feel better?
