Im just curious which tight end you would sign for 3 million or less?

Hot damn! If you're so great it's a wonder you don't have Loomis' job. I'm pretty sure that he got his contract as low as he could, and most probably it's a pretty good one making it work with the salary cap. Which I very seriously doubt any of us understand what's really going on with that

So sensitive... at what point did I say I was great or better than anyone else? Take emotion out of it, look at the past mistakes that have caused significant cap issues (which we are currently "trying" to get out of) and tell me how this doesn't suggest overpaying for a mid tier player and continuing the current cap situation in future years?

I hear the argument about it being backloaded and could end it sooner, etc. The issue there is (dependent on) the signing bonus number that could lead to substantial dead money counting against a future cap. It is business 101, Mickey Loomis wouldn't have to jump cap hoops every off season with good signings and contracts.

In the end, I hope for nothing more than for Fleener to be the best saints FA signing since Drew Brees and eat crow.

When you insinuated you could sign Fleener for 3 million or less, and I'm not sensitive I could careless. You just come around to troll every once in awhile

200 post since 2004 = troll... I've been here long enough and you just pop in during the offseason and talk bad about the team just to rile us up... Pretty much a troll to me
