But you're also right in that where they screwed the pooch was extending guys like Will Smith, Roman Harper, and Charles Grant - those guys turned around and each laid their own Mr. Hankey... So extended early, when projecting age vs production, can be windfall moves, allowing the team to really improve the talent level fast as they give themselves cap room... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

What I'm concerned about as a fan of the Saints is being sure we can sign our developed players and quality free agent players to make this team a perennial competitor... And even the great Loomidini can't keep postponing the inevitable, we're gonna get bit in the arse at some point... |

Re: Graham’s contract status somehow stays under the radar
He will get paid. He will get paid by the Saints. He and his agent could have pushed the Saints into a contract this offseason. He deserves more than he's being paid. But, after a year of being injured and some inconsistency catching the ball, it wouldn't have been good for Graham or the team. Now back healthy, and with the team poised for a big year, the payoff for Graham next offseason is set to be higher.

Re: No Room Left For Jimmy?!?
Of course, but then you do what the Colts did, blow it all up and start from scratch. Likely going to have to do that anyway, at least a little bit, when Brees hangs it up.

Re: Graham’s contract status somehow stays under the radar
He has a contract for a year. I'm not going to lose any sleep over "what if's"
Ok, just one "What if he gets a gazillion dollar new contract and blows out a knee on the very first play?" Even if he gets the gazillion dollar contract just like his QB did all we will hear is "Now we can't afford to go after any "Big Name" FA's" Sound familiar? |
