Raymond is FOS, Saints don't restructure without a move...

Or its for Snead long term deal

jeanpierre

Snead isn't going to cost that much...

Snead, and Vaccaro (if Saints are planning to keep him) are two guys that'll need to get extended this year...

If Vaccaro is thinking he's top ten money, then the Saints will take a Safety early and plan for life without him...

lee909

Snead will be getting over 8ml maybe close to 10ml. The WR market has bern screwed by teams like the Rams giving silly money to WR2 and 3s.

jeanpierre

Snead will not be getting anywhere near 10mil/annum; Loomis would truly have lost it then...

Top No. 2 WR money is at 7mil/annum which I think he could be in that range, maybe topping out at 8mil towards the end of his contract...

His average per annum will be around 7.5 million...

RT (2) 64 - Zach Strief and who?

jeanpierre

Well you've asked the question to the question...

And there's the same issue on the other side as Armstead has never played a full season...

hagan714

See all this love for defense and impact offense yet no solutions to this glaring issue?

will the saints load up on UDFA in 2017 to address the issue like they did in 2016 with OG? There are some solid UDFA OT but they are UDFA. Peat can bounce outside but LOG becomes an issue or does it? never know till they play the game.

Imagine if the saints drafted Ryan Ramczyk at 11. saints nation would go nuts. He is the best swing OT in the draft. Next one would be Garret Bolles at 32. After that I am not seeing a plug and not get killed OT in the draft.

Ryan Ramczyk is a one year wonder with a ton of hype that I still believe is better off at RT than LT in the NFL.
Garret Bolles is a bit less hype but I do love his upside. Is 32 really to high to address RT in a draft so poor in OT options.

Given the corner the saints have painted themselves into I have to say chasing a player like Garret Bolles is not so crazy.

If needed Bolles with TE/RB over sight is a safe bet to hold his own.
