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. |

Re: Big time names in 2015 Free Agency
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.

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 |

Re: Big time names in 2015 Free Agency
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.

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. |
