NFL.com: (Saints) make list of best NFL offseasons
This might interest some of you from nfl.com ...
Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears make list of best NFL offseasons - NFL.com "9) New Orleans Saints Better too soon than too late. ... Many questioned the decision to trade Darren Sproles to Philly for a mere fifth-round draft pick. But considering that his game is built on explosion -- and that he turns 31 next month -- should the move be framed as anything but shrewd? Because of the dearth of trades in this era of the NFL, the Sproles transaction garnered perhaps more attention than the signing of Jairus Byrd -- arguably the best defender on the free-agent market, or very close to it. Getting Byrd, veteran leadership from Champ Bailey and a big corner (6-foot-3, 218 pounds) in rookie Stanley Jean-Baptiste transforms what had been a soft spot in the defense into a solid unit for coach Sean Payton to lean on. (Though, if Payton does still end up having to win games by the score of 34-30, having Brandin Cooks' 4.33 speed in the slot sure won't hurt, folks.) Nothing is perfect ... The Jimmy Graham franchise-tag situation is a little sticky. The club wants to pay him like a tight end, but Graham ... along with his agent and the NFL Players Association ... considers himself a wideout, based on how often he lined up in non-TE spots last season. The resolution to the dispute could cost the Saints $5 million." |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I know you can't really grade the off season moves for like 4 years but for now, I have to admit I'm really pumped about what we've done. Usually I'm very underwhelmed.

Re: NFL.com: (Saints) make list of best NFL offseasons
BTW, I've read some posts elsewhere by a couple of pretty knowledgable posters who follow College prospects year round claim that this years UDFA class looks even better than last years.
I find that hard to believe but if it is even close to true, wow! |
