Re: 2014 The year of the make over?
Loomis has said on numerous occasions to expect a 20-25% turnover on the roster year over year. If true we can expect at least 10 of those either on the roster or IR to be gone next year.
I expect Vilma, Smith, Coleman, Greer, PRob, Strief, Herring, Harper, Moore, McCown, Watson, Meachem, and (drum roll) Ingram (traded)....to be seeking employment elsewhere. The Saints will have six picks next year as they gave up a late round pick to the 49ers. They always find two or three UDFA, and a few FA. I also think Brown will be signed and moved to the right side (making Strief expendable). I would like to think the Saints would give serious consideration to Veldheer (Oakland), if available, at LT. |
Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

Re: 2014 The year of the make over?
This Defense as it is close to craking the code..... if you play the next season right you won't need much but staying healthy... How you is complex... but Loomis makes these things simple.
Me personally - I would never cut Lance, restructure or trade because of Stills, but cut naw... You cut Lance you might as well stick a Patriots Jersey on him and give him 100 catches!!! They would drop Amendola in a hot second to get a receiver who does what Welker could do with out injury. And that's Lance. If you trade Moore...You want Talib and probably nothing less.... As a matter of fact... I think the one thing you want in free agency is another CB like you discovered in Lewis this season. - Will Smith cut - Greer cut - Love what he has done for us, but I can't keep him here for that. - Vima cut - Meachum cut - Herring cut - Jenkins cut - Harper restructured or cut - Drew Brees Restructured... convert money into signing bonus. - Butler Restructured - Coleman restructured or cut. - Jimmy Graham Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag.... you know the one where nobody can talk contract with him but your team You will also be able to get out of your contract with Ingram to go into the draft in maybe the 3 rd and grab a new RB if you decide not to resign him... DLP can be brought back on the cheap Morgan as Well.... |
You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house, and if have a glass jaw you should watch your mouth..... cause I'll break your face!!! -50 cent

Re: 2014 The year of the make over?
The only reason Smith is still here
Is because more than 1/2 would have been lost in the divorce. Next year the upside is huge. Moore will not be here next season. Stills has taken over nearly all his targets. We need a turn-over and this looks like the year to do it. If you wait too long you end up with rookie receivers and a rookie QB. Both is not a good recipe. |

![]() Danno was not defending Smith, he was stating the reason that next season is the time to go . The ONLY reason Will Smith was not cut this season is because we couldn't. You don't cut a player when you are overhauling a defense... need depth... and not sure how serviceable he will be in a new position to save $900k. |

Re: 2014 The year of the make over?
Talib skills are there if you keep him on the field. pass damaged goods
Jimmy Graham Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag i can live with that move because he will become the highest paid TE in the NFL due to the fact he never lines up in a TE set. plus i believe that condition puts a first and third round pick on him also (drum roll) Ingram (traded) yep the can of worms that wont go away 2 first and say two thirds and lose Gram and Ingram. Gram you would need to replace and add a WR to equal out production. Ingram is a luxury that has been injured since day one and may get you a 3rd. 2014 will be fun |
