Willie Snead optimistic and hopeful that he signs long-term deal with Saints before season

I see letting him play out the season like this, then letting the market set the price...

He's a good, complimentary guy. But, his value is just not that great for the Saints. He's popular now because of his coming out of nowhere and making some plays. If you paid him $5 million a year, he would be viewed with a lot less friendly eye. Why? Perception and reality. He's just not THAT valuable to the team. Next man up. The reality of the NFL.

Honestly? He has the best hands on the team since Lance Moore, hands down (pardon the pun). He has made more clutch plays than almost everyone on the roster. And why should what a player makes have anything to do how he is perceived as long as he keeps doing what he has been doing as a Saint?

Name the "next man up" that can match the play he has proven to date. Brandon Coleman is the "next man" and he hasn't come close.
