Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to see a change at the LS position; Practice Squad TE Garrett Griffin can also long-snap... Mauti is a fine player, but what will he be like even if he gets his gut healthy? Hightower is blocking Lasco's development - time to move on... Sterling Moore should be re-signed... Don't know if Lelito regressed or was injured in some way not disclosed, but I don't think we can re-sign him for what he may seek... Snead is a restricted free agent, do we run the risk of signing him to his tender? |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

If I were the saints I would go performance based contract and keep tabs on Johnathan Hankins NY Giants 25 / 6'2' / 320 NYG spent a lot of cash on signings FA for the DL last year. He might just slip out of town. Hankins is much better against the run and collapsing the pocket. If the contracts requests are even close I would sign Hankins |
