Glad he wants to be here; just hope we didn't outbid ourselves...

Now, can he remain focused and improve each season moving forward?

The Saints have an estimated $12 million in salary-cap space left (an unofficial number) after their flurry of moves over the past few days and a recent adjustment to their overall salary-cap space (down from $172.75 million to $168.9 million, according to ESPN Stats and Information, likely from past incentives paid out, etc.). They will gain about $7.2 million more in cap space after June 1 because of the way they designated Jairus Byrd's release. And here is New Orleans' full list of draft picks after the Brandin Cooks trade with New England: Round 1: Pick 11 Round 1: Pick 32 Round 2: Pick 42 Round 3: Pick 76 Round 3: Pick 103 Round 6: Pick 196 Round 7: Pick 229

So as of June first we have roughly 19 million. Draft picks with take 7-9 of that. 10 million left for fa's and Snead.

Here are my questions, thought line re: the Okafor signing

This is a solid signing of a quality rotational DE; now, are we done signing DEs?

He's coming off a major injury and will need to learn this scheme, didn't we do this last year with Kruger?

Why not also bring Kruger, who played well at the end of the season once healthy, familiar with defense?

It'll be interesting to see if they do and then to see if either of them makes it out of training camp. Hopefully neither of'em will get anything guaranteed.

We better not be giving up a first for him
Im hoping its bending the rules to speak to him and see what he wants before speaking to the Pats about a trade. A wouldn't like to give up more than a 3rd though. He will be a FA next year as NE will not b paying him

My guess would be, they think they can get more than 25 tackles in 15 games. And Okafor is 26, Kruger is 31.

They set up meetings with Jamaal Charles, Eddie Lacy, Adrian Peterson and LeGarrette Blount this week.

And thy still have Rawls

Considering how bad the line had been you would think they might have relised you can have Jim Brown back there but without a few blockers it wont matter

That's exactly what I was thinking. They did pick up Luke Joeckel but the way their line played last year, they're going to need more than just a mediocre guard to fix it.

Agreed. It's a good thing Russell Wilson can run fast. That Seattle O line is below average.

Makes sense. He's a real blue collar, high motor, high effort guy. He's deceptively fast and a real scrappy gym rat. High football IQ.

Funny "White."

NE is well known for finding under-valued players. I've thought for a while now they find some under-valued simply because they are "White" especially when they play a position where most of the best, valued players are not...WR, LB, RB, OL.

What's up with Johnathan Hankins?? I don't think I've heard a single thing about any teams having interest.

From what I've read, a lot of owners/GM's may be willing to gamble on cheap rookie options. Hankins could possibly hang around NY & work out a deal later.

Side note - I think a team like the Broncos could eventually make a splash for him.

Hightower just re-signed with Pats
Just under 11ml a year

$43.5ml over 4 years with $19ml Guaranteed

Not surprised.

Great news if you are a NE fan.

lee909 03-15-2017 01:06 PM
Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
If he stays healthy
$11ml is alot for a player that has averaged 13 games a year for the past 5 years
