Interesting factoid that this isn't the first time the Saints and an Athletes First client wasn't able to close a deal...

Last year it was CB Josh Norman (CCA Ryan Williams) who chose the Redskins over the Saints...

This year it was RG Kevin Zeitler, (CCA Joe Panos) who was advised the Browns over the Saints...

Something to file away and monitor...

Well if he gets two good offers but choses a poor team for more money then I'm happy we didn't get him. If we would have lowballed him that would be a different story.

One thing that cant be helping getting players through the door has to be crime.

Ive not been to New Orleans and im not slinging any mud but there has been two high profile murders of NFL players in the last year or so. Crime is still pretty high in the state isnt it?

New Orleans and Baton Rouge (many displaced from Katrina ended up in BR or Houston)...

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

Yeah i watched a show on the gang issues being spread to Houston after Katrina. Just something that come to mind,players will be worried bringing a family to an area with them sort of headlines. Being in any major city at the wrong time can be a disaster but the headline may hurt

Anyway obviously Zietler is a man who lets his agent whore him around for the biggest money not following the the path that could lead to success. Obviously the Saints have not been great for a couple of years but not bad like others and the chance to move forward is clear.

Tried to find it on Twitter, but when fans were posting to his page, one from Cleveland said that at least you won't need flood insurance...

As long as Landrieu and the cronies are in charge, NOLA will still have its problems...

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 

No surprise about the Cleveland fans.
Youll always get that from other teams fans

Im a Liverpool fan and had to live for years with other fans sick chants abouts the Hillsbourgh disater(96 fans dead in a crush) and the police,press and government lies about it being th fault of drunk fans crushing their own. Even with that all being made public and the fault being now known to be the police failures we still get the chants and rubbish.
