Re: Free agents 2014
Update on 2014 roster, with free agency, trades and the draft upon us, this is where we are:
SAINTS PROJECTED DEPTH CHART - 2014 OFFENSE QB (2) Drew Brees, Ryan Griffin, Luke McCown RB (4) Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson, Travaris Cadet FB (1) Erik Lorig, Austin Johnson (FC) WR (3) Marques Colston, Nick Toon, Charles Hawkins (FC) LT (2) Terron Armstead, Marcel Jones (FC) LG (2) Ben Grubbs, Senio Kelemete (FC) C (2) Tim Lelito RG (2) Jahri Evans RT (2) Zach Strief, Bryce Harris, Ty Nsekhe (FC) TE (3) Jimmy Graham (Franchise, NE), Benjamin Watson, Josh Hill WR (2) Kenny Stills, Andy Tanner (FC), Joe Morgan DEFENSE DE (2) Akiem Hicks, Glenn Foster NT (3) Brodrick Bunkley, John Jenkins DE (2) Cameron Jordan, Tyrunn Walker OLB (2) Junior Galette, Keyunta Dawson, Rufus Johnson ILB (3) David Hawthorne, Kevin Reddick ILB (2) Curtis Lofton, Ramon Humber OLB (2) Parys Haralson, Victor Butler, Kyle Knox CB (3) Keenan Lewis, Rod Sweeting, Trevin Wade (ERFA), Derrius Brooks (FC) SS (2) Kenny Vaccaro, Marcus Ball, Jordan Pugh FS (2) Jarius Byrd, Rafael Bush (RFA) CB (2) Patrick Robinson, Corey White, Terrence Frederick SPECIALISTS K (1) Shayne Graham, Derek Dimke (FC) P (1) Thomas Morstead LS (1) Justin Drescher, Jed Collins H Thomas Morstead PR Travaris Cadet, Lance Moore KR Travaris Cadet, Pierre Thomas KO Thomas Morstead, Shayne Graham KEY: POS (#Likely Slots) Projected Starter Free Agent Free Agent (RFA) {Restricted Free Agent} Free Agent (ERFA) {Exclusive Rights Free Agent} Free Agent (FC) {Futures Contract} Franchise Tagged/Restricted Observations All this draft speculation of Saints needing a cornerback in the first yet when looking at the roster - we still need hard-hitting, playmaking linebackers!!! Contracts as they are with Running Back, we'll only have Thomas, Robinson under contract after this season... Damn thin on that offensive line... Roll the dice and see if Patrick Robinson can blossom under Ryan... Sure would like to bring Meachem back in the role, contract we had this past season... Wonder if we can snag a good role player in the latter waves of Free Agency...

Re: Free agents 2014
Packers prefer compensatory picks over unrestricted free agents | ProFootballTalk
So teams are rewarded by not spending money on their free agents?!? I can see if a team lost in a bidding battle, but to arbitrarily wait for high round draft picks?!? |

The formula works for them although there is a bit of a gamble. There is no guarantee on how many, if any Compensatory picks they get, only the top 32 lost value FAs get the last team picks. PFT is sort of recycling old articles from other news sources. Compensatory picks have proved valuable to Packers |

The Saints will have to do something with the interior of the o-line. I was hoping they could do something in FA and maybe they can still sign De La Puente back. If not they'll have to get someone in the draft. And I hope they get an inside linebacker early in the draft. |

For whatever reasons, he hasn't been able to traslate it to the field; absolute sin to have that talent and not be able to actuate it... Got a feeling that DLP is coming to the painful recognition that he reached his apogee by being a Center for the Saints and will have to take what the market dictates... Then again, nobody took Coach Payton serious when he said he wasn't worried about Center and we already had the guy we needed on staff when we cut Kreutz... |

I would feel more comfortable with DLP on the roster. If Lelito's the man then great, but if it doesn't work out, we know we have an above average fill in on the bench. |

Well, how do you like us now?!? Running Backs Thomas, Robinson are only backs under contract after this coming season... Still real thin on that offensive line... Great depth at cornerback; little thin at Safety though White could be shifted there... Bailey signing may mean we withdraw matching on Rafael Bush... Sure would like to bring Meachem back in a supporting role like this past season... Other than OLine, we've about got things reloaded...

Re: Free agents 2014
I really like the way the roster is shaping up.
A little bit of concern in terms of depth along the offensive line and the glaring issue at centre. The other issue is the receivers,outside of Colston and possibly Stills its question marks on both Morgan and Toon.Hopefully at least one of them can step up and fill a void. Leaves the front office in a good position to be aggressive to go after the best players in the draft without having to worry about many holes to fill. |

Plus, we keep signing players like there's no salary cap - expect a Sidney Rice signing... Payton is sleeping at night, so he must like what he has on the roster to play Centre... Unlike last season when he uncharacteristically said he was having restless, sleepless nights over Left Tackle, Charles Brown... |
