Re: Brent Crimes ???

As I watch free agents continue to go off the board, it seems like any move we'd make at this point would almost feel like an obligation just to say we signed SOMEONE. There's not much out there that could significantly impact this team, in my opinion.

What I'm getting at is I don't want to see the Saints sign some second or third tier guy to a 4 year, 35-40 million dollar deal, just because he's the best option left. Just save it for next year if you can't get impact players. Obviously there will be a few minor deals here and there, as always, but I'm not expecting much else.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Exactly!

The Giants are signing guys left, right and centre, if we are not going to sign anyone then let's have a good draft.

But don't sign any player to a big deal when he isn't going to be an all pro.

Re: Brent Crimes ???

A lot of the media talked up this year's FA pool like it was gonna be legendary. In truth, many of the big names never hit, and were never going to hit the market. So what was left ended up being a few up and comers with potential (Jackson, Trevathan, etc) a handful of aging vets who might still have it (M. Williams, Forte) and then a whhhhooooooooolllllle lotta mediocrity.. We're all of about 2 hours into the official opening of free agency and about all I see left is mediocrity. That being considered, I'm hoping we sit back and just try to add a little depth here and there on the cheap. Go ahead and give Brees an extension, but I would like to see them just eat most of that 30 mil this year. As others have already said there's no point in spending big money when there's no one worth spending it on. Let's take the hit now and maybe we finally get out of this year to year cap limbo we've been stuck in for so long.
