Listen, Nick is a super talented player and our defense can use a few above average interior lineman. If the price is right, I'm sure the Saints FO will pull the trigger. I recall coming out of Auburn he appeared to be dirty at times but never a locker room distraction (I'm sure SloMo can chime in on his playing days in Detroit). We need some more big nasties on that D line.

To be continued ...

Major...

We still taking it in the a$$ with Loomis' premature Galette contract...

The reward is not remotely close to the risk of going through all of that again...

We needed a quality defensive end and/or a nose tackle at the least before the draft...

Robert Ayers? Raji ? Clayborn? Chris Long? Who you got JP?

Slim pickings at those positions right now. Nick is a very good 3 tech. IF you can get him cheap (I don't see him getting more than 3M a year), I'm all in. This would be way better than signing a guy for 7-8 M only to show a lot of suckage with our historically bad defense.

Side note: Ayers is on his way to Tampa for a visit.

Of course, the other part of the pie was signing NT Damon Harrison; that could allow you to kick out someone to DE as a big anchor-type, 5-tech type...

Then you could let these young perimeter pass rushers attack from the edge or stunt underneath...

Major, don't believe we should compound a bad situation by making the same mistake we made with Junior by bringing in someone who can't grow up, act like a professional and play hard regardless if it's a contract year or naught...

I just question the forward thinking, planning for this team with regards to personnel, contractual commitments...

Sure, many things can change each season, but we've got no long term management to really allow us that room we need to correct problems without losing a season or two because of bad contracts...

Falcons have released DT Paul Soliai; would he be worth a look? I kind of assume not, I mean getting released from a defense that was even worse than ours...

I haven't read much about him being a locker room problem. He has a reputation for disappearing at times on the field, but he probably learned that from Ndrama-king Suh.

I'd be fine with him here.
