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

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

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.

Saints sign Larry warford

Ian Rapoport‏ @RapSheet

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

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

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

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

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

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

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

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

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.

Not only that, but we've gotten rid of one...
