In so much as the offensive line where you'd have to commit the FA money you can squeeze, you have to get Brees his 4+ second cushion back...

GM Homework for the Offseason Offensive Line Work -

It'll be a strong market demand for offensive linemen where many will be overpaid, but if we could get anyone, it'd be...

C Steve Wisniewski, not sure Oakland can afford to tag the young center, he was also an outstanding Guard as a Rookie...

Now alot of you like G Mike Iupati, my fear this is Ben Grubbs all over again, decent enough run blocker but he get his arse thrown by above average, better defensive linemen...

C Rodney Hudson, wait, another Center?!? Yep, thinking outside the box; should you sign Wisniewski and if he looks like he'd be great at guard and he's all-in, then get Hudson and now you can ride out one of the remaining guards on the roster and work the draft...

With regards to Bryce Harris, wonder if he wouldn't make for a better Guard than Tackle?!?

One name that's surging right now is Clint Boling who replaced Marshall Newhouse in the starting lineup for Cincy; though it's a small sampling size, he may be available at a respectable contract that doesn't spill the salary cap bean pot...

Another name is Orlando Franklin who moved to Guard this season from Tackle - just don't know after one season if I'd be ready to commit that much cap room after one season; but signing a guy named Orlando Jones/Clifford Franklin - that **** would just write itself...

Wisniewski is who we need to target in Free Agency...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Oakland has as much cap space as any team in the league. If they want, they can tag him or probably match any offers for him.

If you're Wiz, who would you rather play for? New Orleans or Oakland?

He's an URFA so there's no matching to prevent him from jumping. I think we can lure him away if they don't franchise him. Franchising a center is the same as a LT, its super expensive. I don't see them paying him LT money.

But of course I thought we'd target Alex Mack last year and we didn't do squat.

he is a pretty good starting C and i agree his rookie year he looked pretty good at OG which is the position he should move back too as people think,

my big but with him is i fear he will over value himself a bit.

the other but might just be he wants out of town.

he is worth keeping an eye on and see what happens

While the Saints can create cap space, I don't think they will have enough to be competitive if a team like Oakland offers him a nice contract. While all things being equal he may choose to play or the Saints over Oakland, I don't think he's leaving millions on the table to do so.

I"d love to see Ndomokhun Suh in Black and Gold. A D=line with Suh next to Hicks with Cam and Galette could work. They'd still need some LBs. But if you can pressure the QB quickly with 4 and stop the run, almost any DBs can look good.

I doubt even Loomis can create enough cap space... Haven't the Lions already said that they would use the franchise tag(25 million cap hit) on Suh before they would let him leave...

vtiger72

I think the Lions have said the franchise tag isn't ruled out, but I doubt they can make the space to use it. That being said, I can't imagine the Saints being able to create enough room to sign Suh. Suh wants to become the highest paid d-lineman, surpassing J.J. Watt.

Watt signed a 6/100 deal with 20+ guaranteed.

It's 16.6 aav...so if Suh gets that, even with bumping some money to future years, He's going to count at least 10 million to the cap in 2015. With already needing to clear money, I cannot see anyway the Saints fit a Suh deal under the cap, especially when teams like Oakland with already 30 million under the cap are rumored to be interested.
