2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Ingram let slip that we have a meeting with Dont'a Hightower. Then he said it was cancelled, but I'm hoping Payton told him to say that lol....

The Tedd Ginn contract is pretty good imo

3 years,11ml with only 3ml guaranteed

I'll second that...
  • We're only in for 3 mil guaranteed & it can even be spread out to minimize a release...
  • You mask your roster so if you do want to take a WR high in the draft (Cooper Kupp for the Love of St. Michael, Sean)...
  • We'll get to see how good Curtis Johnson is if he can teach Ginn to both catch, make correct reads, and run disciplined routes...

  • Average Cap Hit will be ~$8.5mil for 4 years, Guaranteed Money is $17mil
  • Now, it'll be interesting if Forrest Lamp is there at Pick No. 32, and we pass...
  • Really worried we overpaid for a guard that hasn't given his all and will get worse after the Big Mo...

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

So with no restructuring we have roughly 15 million in cap room. Subtract7.5 million for the draft picks that leaves us 7.5 million to spend. Looks like mid-level players from he on out. We need a safety, CB and a de for sure before the draft. So who is still out there?

Can't afford him...And besides, we need to continue to get younger on defense...
