True. In 2014 Dolphins did the same thing with CB market. Gave Grimes 4-year 32 mil contract.

Allen had only 16 catches last year .. 16.

Wow.

How in the hell did Chip Kelly get another HC job so quickly after leaving one in such disarray is mind boggling.

Another player with injury concerns.

Cook might be a solid sneaky pickup. I always thought he was on teams that were unfriendly to TE. He is not getting much press so he might be had cheap on a 1 year prove it contract. Not so much prove it to the saints as him selling himself to the rest of the NFL next time around in FA. at 29 years of age he needs to do it now.

I gotta question. If 2017 is supposed to be major cap relief for the Saints,can we spend big in FA and dump off most of the load of their contracts in 2017? Can contracts be set up like that? If it can, I think it would be worth going after Malik Johnson and let the bulk of his contract fall into next years cap. If Drew restructures, we will be able to grab about 3 or 4 mid teir players(WR,G,TE). Then we could do like Carolina and draft DT with the first two picks.
