I said Payton was going to get fleeced by BB. Might as well get the KY ready.

Kinda starting to think the whole Cooks for Butler deal was just BS. Probably something that got floated out as a possibility and some hack ran with it. Just doesn't make any sense for us. Dude is gonna cost too muchard, and this draft is loooooaaaaded at CB. Hold firm on the higher asking price and keep him if no one wants to bite.

Source: The #Saints are signing G Larry Warford to beef up their OL. Was a big area of focus for them.

After a great rookie showing Warford has issues with minor injuries and quality of play. Last year he was serviceable and showed signs of his old self .. at times.

If we get the rookie player out of him it will be huge. If not it is a so so kind of signing.

Crap shoot with upside

And yet we have signed no pass rushers to this point - interesting...

Very few hit the market though
And as much as id have loved Campbell that contract he got was pure madness at his age

#5 PFF rated CB not too shabby. I would rather draft picks

IMO this is a nice signing that we needed at the position.

Hagan, Major brought up Roushar and rightfully so...

I really liked the idea of getting Zeitler who'd probably need just a little coaching to get up to speed on our offense...

Then we could build a second offensive line that Roushar could really focus on developing behind the older vets...

When we see the guaranteed money on Warford, that'll balance against what we get out of him...

Larry Warford, G, Detroit Lions (25) /6'3' / 317/ Rd. 3 (65) / DET
Larry Warford is a solid starting guard at just 26 years old. This past season, Warford surrendered three sacks and 28 total QB pressures, but teams will be intrigued by the prospect of rediscovering the 2013 PFF Rookie of the Year, who didn’t allow a single sack and earned the best run-blocking grade of his career.

I'd say at least one per new guy signed.

I'm finding I'm looking elsewhere when I want to discuss a specific player, like Klein.

There really are none worth a first day signing.

Jacksonville Jaguars reach deal with A.J. Bouye - NFL.com

That's crazy money to a unproven corner who didn't start until mid October.

saintsfan1976 03-09-2017 04:06 PM

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
So far we've signed:

Solid FB in Kuhn.
Young and hungry MLB, (similar to Fujita/Shanle) likely a day one starter.
Veteran return man/#3 WR.
Top 10 RG. Brees and Ingram are happy.
Special teams ace in Banjo.

Left to get?
Top 5 CB in trade with Cooks.
RDE
OLB
SS
WR
QB

The draft is coming into focus....

So we got Fairley for between $7-8 million/year?! That's perfect! Well done Mickey.

Great job Loomis, I thought for certain he would be offer 10-13 mil a yr

Any defensive ends available? Get a DE or another solid guard and like Ice Cube would say "It was a good day"

frydaddy 03-09-2017 04:23 PM

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
Great job on the Fairley deal. Good money for him and I don't think we over paid. All in all its been a good first day of free agency. However, if they sign Teo that will erase a lot of good will. Please pass on this loser.

hagan714 03-09-2017 04:30 PM

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
The only person that will not make this work is Fairley himself. The ball and the pay check is in his court

lee909 03-09-2017 04:34 PM

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
WOW
Really though Fairley would be 10ml a year with so few DT on the market and so much cap space

Great deal

You know, if Zimmer and/or Mabry could show something to make the roster, it may allow Onyemata to kick outside to one of the DE spots...

John Elway should be dying laughing @ Brock Osweiler and his agent. This kid value is dropping as fast as Ryan Leaf. This should be a lesson to those players who think their contract give them a leg up over their coach

I'll say it: Anthony is dumb. Not instinctive. Runs out of the play or into the trash.
