2016 Saints Free Agency

RaginCajun83 · 03-09-2016, 09:36 PM

having a weight clause in your contract shows his character, I've heard stories he would take plays off too ...... sounds like a certain bust who's name isn't mentioned that back when the Saints were dumb enough to trade up for

Overall, disappointing first day of free agency. A lot of the players I hoped we would make a run at got signed to other teams for reasonable deals. Made no real moves to address the major holes we have on defense, it can't all be done in the draft and there isn't a ton of talent left in free agency.

I'm just sick and tired of the front office fielding a Porsche on offense but the defense must settle for a used yugo

Good mornin' everyone! Day 2 of free agency is upon us! It's all about the D-Line now. All of the good guards are gone except for Evan Mathis so it looks like we'll be rolling out some combo of a draft pick, Lelito and Kelemete. Plenty of serviceable DT's and DE's left so let's hope for some good news!

Who is on your short list Chris? I'm getting roasted on the thought of bringing in Fairley on the cheap so I'd like to know who else is available that can somehow add a "fire" to our D.

Thoughts?

You know what? Looking back over the list of DT's that are left is pretty underwhelming. I'd like to bring in Nick Fairley... But it just makes me a little nervous. He's really our only hope though of getting a DT that isn't just a 2 down run stopper. I can't really think of any others who would boost our interior pass rush.

Would never roast you my brother...

Roasted, hang out with me this past week when express freight ends up on the left coast and customers are screaming for your blood...

With regards to Fairley, I'd rather spin this into a undrafted free agent recruiting gig for the Saints and not having his troubles or him blocking a young, hungry kid from the roster...

I like Cameron as well but I wonder if he is 100% healthy & still has that burst?
