I hope Mickey is stashing some money away for a long term contract. Jordan has been solid since he was drafted and has gotten better every year. I see multilple pro bowls for Jordan and the entire Saints defense.

This is a young defense that is building around corner stones like Cam Jordan along the front D-line. I also fully expect our secondary to be a turn over machine with a lot of three and outs. This defense will give every offensive coordinator night mares.

Byrd has been meeting with Ryan. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at those first couple of sessions together. Ryan has alot to work with......and this is before the draft even starts. Nice job Mickey.

Saints' 2015 cap is loaded -- but worth it - New Orleans Saints Blog - ESPN

Sure, the Saints are facing even more salary-cap constraints in 2015 and beyond. They now have $134 million counting against their 2015 salary cap for just 42 players, according to ESPN Stats and Information. And that doesn't include the looming new mega-deal for tight end Jimmy Graham.

Then we better bring home a ring this year. Our window of opportunity is now closing.

So can we interpret the non-action of picking up the elective option on Mark Ingram as a vote of no confidence?!?

...Or "prove you're worth it" type of a deal.

I would imagine the Saints will try to re-sign him after the season if he shows he is worth it, but there's no way they'd spend $5M in cap on a RB with the body of work Ingram can point to at the moment.
