When you balance Brees against what the FO has done in Free Agency, it's no contest; but they haven't done well in FA overall... Keenan Lewis signing doesn't get the fanfare, but that was probably as impressive a signing the Saints have had save Brees... After the Grubbs signing, an overpay for a glorified secondary tier lineman, I just hope with Byrd that we're due - but those numbers concern me... Ben Watson though has been a good depth signing; DLP worked out fair enough... Bringing back Meachem was solid... The signing of Inside Linebackers Lofton and Hawthorne has been underwhelming with team unfavorable contracts; though I disagree with PFF that Hawthorne has played completely poorly; but those positions need upgrading... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
I will say that none of those guys were locker room issues. Have to hand it to Payton in that dept. I honestly can't think of one player under him who has caused grief for the team and fans which is almost impossible to do in the NFL.
