Come on guys and gals. The Saints are doing what they have to do as a team. Adding depth and experience are something we truly need behind young players.

We will get there give Loomis time. Lauranitus is a great experience booster for all of the younger players and I would guess that's why he's coming to New Orleans.

Wish the Saints would bring back NT Lawrence Virgil...

He showed promise before the injury, had great size...

The New Orleans Saints declined to extend the contracts of three players for whom they had exclusive rights.

The contracts of offensive lineman Ryan Seymour and defensive tackles Lawrence Virgil and Austin Brown expired on Wednesday and the Saints chose not to renew them.

All three players are now free agents.

Newly updated NFLPA records show the New Orleans Saints with only $2.57 million of space available under the salary cap.

The numbers appear to reflect all the Saints signings during the last week of free agency. It's not clear if the numbers include the restricted free agent tenders issued to tight end Josh Hill and guard Tim Lelito. Unofficial NOLA.com estimates showed the team with $4.06 million available (or $1.69 million when the tenders are included). The reason for the discrepancy was not clear...

This tells me that Drew will restructure and preliminary discussions have already been done.

Don't know that we have to restructure with Brees just yet...

We still have a much overpaid punter that can either be released or have his contract re-done at a league average for an average punter...
