High dollar but who knows, maybe being home in NO he lives up to the price tag. Could be a smart move. It's not like everything we have got from them turned to gold or anything.

Problem is, he's been really bad.

He's not that bad. Better than who we have signed right now. Bring him in and see if he will take a hometown discount. He just got a 8 million dollar check from SD

Really? They're listing him as a good offensive lineman....

I don't know anything about him other than he was a first round pick a few years ago.

He is a upgrade at the guard position wouldn't be mad bout this if we signed him

Will the Saints be cheap?

I heard that being "Politically Correct" isn't politically correct any more.

some of you guys...

Of course he isn't worth an 8 million price tag that is why he was cut but he started every game he played in. He is worthy of being a starter just at what price. Also sometimes a player just needs a new scenery to kick in their A game.

I think he is better than any back up we have.

Rivers got sacked 36 times. Not entirely on Fluker but how much of it was on him? Maybe Bolt can gives us a verdict. Starting every game thinking he was good enough just not 8 million and change good enough. Not even close.

I think blocking for Drew Brees will be better for him than blocking for Phillip Rivers

Rivers holds the ball way too long. Drew has a very quick release. It's why our 2nd tier o-line looked good last year.

No, not even close and he has to know that.
I just like that guard is becoming a surplus market.

Meh ....

It appears 5-7 million is what it may take for Fluker when for a few million more, we could have a shot at Warford, Lang or the Big Kahuna (Zeitler).

Hoping for the best.

On the plus side you can slot Fluker in at OG but any injuries at Tackle and he can swing outside.

Zeitler is going to get double what Fluker makes. Lang will get 8 or 9, but is already 29. Will be interesting to see if we are all-in or not

Re: DJ Fluker
 
Zeitler at 9 mill or >, I say the saints should be out of that bidding war

Re: DJ Fluker
 
If you can bring Fluker in for 3-4ml less than the top guards go for then that money can get you most of the way there for a new linebacker like Klien

True Dat! And for a few more million we could have Zeitler for stability along a good front line that is not as good as it looks. With Zeitler we will have a dominant line.......not a decent one with a quick release QB.
