What kind of deal are we looking at here? 4 years/$20 mil with around half of that guaranteed?

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

4 years $32ml plus id say.

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

He's not even under contract or am I wrong???

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

Surprise! You're wrong. He is contracted through the 2017 season at a base salary of $615K.

Spotrac - Willie Snead

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

Okay I just checked overthecap, he is. So something will get done. quality guy to have a round.

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

I love looking at overthecap, can always find the cap we are losing from stupid moves. Still paying Browner, solid move

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

You are right. That would have never happened if Jeff Ireland would have been around back then. Thanks for pointing out how much better the front office is today and how we can look forward favorably to the future!
:bng:

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

I hope we can, I really do because this is still the present since we are still paying him. I can't look at it as in the past yet until his money is off the books. We are presently paying BB money :(

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

... for a mistake that was made in the past and is more than likely not going to happen in the future. They could have made matters worse by keeping him on while paying him base salary and roster bonuses over his guarantees. That would have eaten up more cap PLUS it would have wasted a roster spot with a penalty machine. As an alternative, I LOVE seeing that Browner "dead money" on the books.

Well, looks like the Willie Snead the IV negotiations just got real...

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

Now, we know where Snead gets his blonde hair!

Looks like a happy family found their Ambassador of Kwan, the real-life Jerry Maguire...

Kinda makes you feel good that another 3X cast-off UDFA, finds gold with the Saints...

Maybe he breaks this jinx on recent Loomis Free Agent signings?!? Fingers Crossed!!!

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

Pat Kirwan talked about this very scenario yesterday on Movin' the Chains on NFL Radio. He said it is very common that players get frustrated with their agents trying to get so much out of a deal that they begin to lose track of what the player actually wants. At that point other agents start approaching the player and the player fires his agent to get the ball moving again.

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

lets pay a dude that produces for this team , the clutch is normal for snead and we should not hold this guy up long, willie the real deal. jeff go get it done.

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

Snead compares favorably to Colston. We can't guarantee a draft pick will produce and Thomas is the only receiver due a large contract. The man deserves to be paid. So pay the man.

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

Don't believe NFLPA rules allow other agents to contact players while in an existing agreement with an agent...

But I do believe a player may know what's best overall for him and it may be 8.5% less in a total deal, but factoring taxes, local name status and recognition, proximity to family, family being happy in an area, other opportunities, you're definitely right that all that is a factor...

Lance Moore just disappeared once he left NO; sometimes "the right fit" & "overall happiness" is everything...

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

Kirwan said it happens all the time. He said it is very common. It might not be "allowed under the rules" but players change agents much more often than we would expect, according to Kirwan. I would think that as long as the player says it was he who originated the contact there isn't much the NFLPA can do about it.

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

Oh, no question they change agents; it's just that agents are not supposed to initiate solicitation, nor courting of contracted players...

But Snead is having his Tidwell moment and have Rosenhaus should give him some comfort, for what that's worth...

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

I agree they're not "supposed to", but Kirwan said they actually do (my addition here) and as long as the players claim to have made first contact nothing can be done about it. Kirwan never said that part, but Occam's Razor. That's what I love about listening to Pat Kirwan. He holds nothing back and tells all about what happens behind the scenes in front office dealings. Very interesting man.

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

Oh, and Rosenhaus has a reputation for getting deals done.

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

FIFY.

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

Same thing.

A rare peek inside the Saints weight room, especially surprising Snead plugging a product there...

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

A little perspective on Snead and his performance, production...

In order to make an educated assessment one must watch hours and hours of video. Cats,Boobs and Fruit Ingestion! FOOTBALL? I know all about the Center Fielder hitting the open man on a pick and roll for a 3 point 60 yd TD!! FOOTBALL LOL!!

ProFootball Focus: The Secret Superstars on Every NFL Roster

WR Willie Snead

2016 snaps: 744

Key stat: Caught 75.0 percent of passes thrown his way, the 14th-best mark among WRs leaguewide.

Snead may be stretching the definition of secret, but such are the options on the New Orleans roster. Snead is a solid slot weapon for the Saints, who has reliable hands but can also flash ability after the catch, forcing 10 missed tackles once he caught the ball and averaging 5.4 yards after the catch.

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

Love Snead. But every time I see Jarvis Landry I think we should've drafted him in the 2nd instead of CB SJB (CB with length but little else)

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

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

Wait he's not signed? WHY NOT????

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

Snead signed a one year $615K deal back in March. If nothing is done on a future contract he'll become a RFA for 2018.
