Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!

Butler is legit. Great corner in his prime. If this deal goes through then we will probably overpay. (draft picks and big contract) But I can't say he is system guy and just an average corner... (different game tape than some other BB products)

True DAT!

Who is going to fire them? Both Benson and Gayle love them. They are like family. I have pointed this out many times before, the relationship between the owner of the Saints, Loomis and Payton is unique to the NFL.

If you are talking about his $5 million roster bonus then the Saints don't have to ask Armstead for anything. It's not up to him. The team has the right to convert roster bonuses signing bonuses anytime they want without any input from the player. The reason being the player gets the same check either way. It is how the money is accounted for on the books that makes the difference. There is around $14 million in roster bonuses that can be converted at this time.

More conjecture and rhetoric. 7-9 again and he is as good as gone. He was forced to fire staff

he is and he talks about things he has absolutely no privilege of knowing. It seriously kind of makes me laugh because I cannot tell if he does it to annoy other members or if he sincerely fancies himself "on the inside". There are people who make themselves believe they're somehow associated with people they're not. LMMFAO. Either way it is pretty comical

I think Paytons fate is going to depend totally on how his boys Allens D performs and if it fails I hope they fire Payton and Allen.

dude we sold our souls previously to get a better d in here. Look how many bad contracts bro

didn't he turn down 14?

They just don't seem to get it...
We should be spending money on guys in the front 7. Always over paying for skilled players. Would like to see what we could do with a pass rush...
