Hakeem Nicks would not be affordable with what we're paying Colston; he's got a little Italian in him (Fragile); but a definite talent - pass

Alex Mack would be an A+ addition to this team; question is could we afford him?!? After signing Jimmy Graham, tendering Rafael Bush, he would be the guy I'd love to sign; a center named Mack - make it happen Saints!!!

Walter Thurmond's next suspension will be for a year - pass...

You have to remember that we can't be going after almost any of the top Free Agents, especially since we have to get under the cap first. Even with cutting Vilma and Smith, and restructuring Brees, we still have to sign our picks as well. Everyone here would love Mack, but it is not feasable, which is why he is 4th. Orakpo, even though he is injured, will go into FA because the Redskins will not franchise him, and he could be a steal. People sometimes suprise after being labeled injury prone. And Strief is going to get paid, so yes I believe these two would be worth paying less for. Whose to say Thurmond will do it again anyways?

These guys fit most the criteria we have: Cheap and at a position of need.
