Why would anyone want him back... i don't get it.

He has got to be one of the worst DTs in the league, wait maybe that's why no one has given him a look. No other team has ever brought the guy in for a visit and we would accept him back lol.... consistently saw this guy getting pushed 6 yards back on every running play and i am sure he doesn't know what a QB looks like anymore.

What a joke!

If he gets brought back for any monetary compensation at all ill be disappointed.

Ugh...get us another half a sack in the next 31 games and you've got a whole sack in 62 games...we'll name a parade after you for that accomplishment.

He's certainly worth the vet minimum. He's solid. He just hasn't been the impact player the Saints hoped for when they drafted him so highly. They have done worse.

Meh. Spend the money where it'll have some positive impact.

I really don't care if he's brought back or not, but bringing him back on a non-guaranteed contract doesn't deter us from spending money anywhere else. We aren't spending any money nor would he take a roster spot away from anyone else if he doesn't make the team.

Before the Spags disaster, he had 137 tackles, 12-1/2 sacks, 13 Passes defended and 2 forced fumbles in 54 games.

That equates to roughly 34 tackles, 3 sacks and 3 PD's per season

Thats great for vet minimum.

Those numbers aren't very good, but for vet minimum, sure. Problem is this... His decline (hard to think of a guy declining when he wasn't doing much in the first place, but still) began the year before Spags.

What is it with everyone who stinks it up somehow being shrugged off on Spagnuolo. I suppose Drew's interceptions, and Jimmy's drops were Spags' fault too. The guy got one season with a bunch of aging players, and young guys who hadn't been successful before, and some people just don't want to believe that maybe we have some bad players. We have some young, raw talent in the front seven who have a chance to be really good. But Payton wanted to change to the 3-4, and frankly, I've been barking up that tree for years. Can't blame him for making the change, and it's hard to blame it all on Spags when he had limited time to work with these guys.

Spagnuolo failed in that he couldn't improve upon what he had, which is his job regardless of circumstance, and for that he deserves some blame. But what really did he have? Let's be realistic.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Funny, GW had the same players and when he played them to their strengths we had a somewhat respectable defense...
