Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
You get three guesses and the first 2 don't count for who made #1!
The Saints Five Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era |
Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
I remember Chamberlain looked so fast during the initial stages of the first preseason after he had signed with the Saints. Then he had that horrible injury going into the second quarter of the first preseason game and was a non-factor after that during his whole Saints' tenure.
I was very excited about his signing back in the day - mainly because he played as a safety in college (=good pass defense) - but unfortunately it wasn't to be. Also, I don't agree with the assessment of Franklin. He played much better out of his natural position than people have given him credit for. Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk |

No surprise at number one. The atm known as...Well i cant say his cause if i do the universe will destroy itself. I thought Fred Thomas was horrible till he showed up.

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
Pretty damn accurate. Alex Brown sucked too.

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
If that's the list, then we've done a good job. None were really big time financial investments.

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
Saints do a good job finding the right fit. There have been much worse signings. ie Albert Haynesworth, Nnamdi Asomugha, and Matt Flynn

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
Without reading my guesses are:
Jason David Olin Kreutz Brian Simmons Olindo Mare .....? Don't know After looking at the list I really disagree with Aubrayo Franklin on there. He was actually solid that year. Sedrick Ellis was the one who sucked out loud. Rogers was kind of a waste though. Still say Simmons should be on the list. Was brought in to start at middle linebacker, but he couldn't even beat out Simoneau. Then was moved to the weak side, where he couldn't beat out Shanle. When both Simoneau and Shanle are better than you, you stink. |

Jason David....Olin....that safety from Cincinnati Kk...

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
WTF is that list? Injuries and retirement are not failures in signing FAs, it's life.
|
Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
I still have night terrors about Jason David. Mare should have been in there somewhere.

Jason David. Not so much the financial commitment, but the belief that he could cover anyone... Totally agree about Chamberlain, that was an unfortunate injury to a surging, peaking linebacker... Disagree with article about Aubrayo Franklin as a bad player; the mistake was we were not yet in a 34 which Franklin was better suited so the FO failed there... 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... |
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.

Re: Top 5 Worst Free Agent Signings in the Sean Payton Era
many signings under Gary Gibbs were bad, Kaesviharn was down right awful.
But the Saints were so bad on defense in 2007 and 08 due to them signing 3rd string guys and putting them as starter. Part reason why some guys on defense that was better managed to hang around for so long afterward, they looked better due to lack of competition and remained on a roster afterward, when in truth they were not starting material. Reason why Rob Ryan when he came in, their no Vilma, Will Smith, and such on the field, Harper was there, but hes gone thank goodness, that was the weak link in the defense. |
