Let him and his agent set the market and come back with some numbers...

If he truly wants to be here, he'll sign and give as much as a 10% hometown discount...

Problem is that we now have Rankins and Onyemata, unless Ony moves to DE...

Even then, do you want to commit that kind of money to a guy who'll be on limited snaps, a situational player?

Davison is a beast for us at the Nose, and we've got two FA futures who are more than capable of backing him up...

And then we have the draft coming as well...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Offer him a fair deal and don't overpay, sure. But don't fool yourself. Nick is past having to accept a hometown discount type contract.

but, he has hinted that he would take one Nick Fairley 'of course' wants to re-sign with Saints | NOLA.com .
Will he turn down $6.5 if the Saints offer $4.5? Of course not.
But Seattle is a hell of a lot farther from Mobile than NOLA is, and it might save us half a million.

The guy has made some money over his career, so the "last big contract" thing might be overblown.
