I'd say yes, we have quite a few free-agents that will likely play elsewhere in 2014, and we won't be bringing in many high priced free-agents to replace them.

But I thought we'd get some comps before and we got jack squat.

If we lose 20 million in free-agency but we sign 20 million to replace them, we won't get picks.

I think this year we'll lose more than we sign.

Graham's contract and the moves to make room for same will really dictate what happens...

We could see a third-fourth rounder for Strief, should he depart...

Also could see a fourth rounder for De La Puente, should he depart...

Have a feeling that Jenkins will leave from pride and sign for less elsewhere, though wouldn't cry about that; he'd probably bring a sixth, seventh round pick...

Tell you one thing, though that has gotten little discussion - I'd seriously think about bringing in some punters; that BS last punt in the game @ Carolina and that WTF moment first punt in the Seattle playoff game absolutely stung...

Moorstead is getting $3.ml next year and it will cost too much too cut him so he will be here.

Yep, I just checked, 3.2 mill to keep him, 3.1 to cut him.

He's safe in 2014.

The problem isn't his dead money, the problem is we paid a friggin Punter 3.3 million per season to start with.

Our freaking Punter has an average yearly salary greater than the following players on our team.

Pierre Thomas
Kenny Vaccaro
Junior Galette
Brian De La Puente
Cameron Jordan
Zach Strief
Patrick Robinson
Mark Ingram
Benjamin Watson
Victor Butler
Parys Haralson
Kenyon Coleman
Shayne Graham
Justin Drescher
Luke McCown
Charles Brown
Ramon Humber
Terron Armstead
Keyunta Dawson
Eric Frampton
Robert Meachem
John Jenkins
Akiem Hicks
Jordan Pugh
Nick Toon
Jimmy Graham
Kenny Stills
Corey White
Rafael Bush
Ryan Griffin
Glenn Foster
Kevin Reddick
Tim Lelito
Rod Sweeting
Khiry Robinson
Josh Hill
Travaris Cadet
Tyrunn Walker
Chris Givens
Trevin Wade
Joseph Morgan
Tom Johnson
Bryce Harris

That's unacceptable; what a bad ****ing contract to sign him...

He should've been cut after that BS punt in Carolina; and that first attempt at Seattle in the playoff game - pack your freaking bags...

Dude has got to get his game together - Hell, I'd cut him on sheer principle...

Wow!!

zachsaints52 · 01-13-2014, 07:26 PM

Top 5 Free Agents I would like the Saints to sign. Any 2 of these would make me giggle.

1. Brian Orakpo- Butler comes back next year from his injury, but I would love to have a 3rd and long DL of Junior, Jordan, Orakpo, and Butler

2. Eric Winston/Roger Saffold- Whichever is cheaper, because I believe both will be cheaper than Strief

3. Hakeem Nicks- Injury slowed him down, but he would look good in our offense.

4. Alex Mack- Would be number 1 on my list, loved him coming out of college. But I think he will sign one of the richest center contracts, and we cant put all our money in the interior OL.

5. Walter Thurmond- Basically everyone but Greer has an issue for our CBs.
