Saints giving defensive end Alex Okafor chance to help with interior rush

As always, we have done far better with the multiple cheap low key signings, rather than going out and breaking the bank on one player like Byrd.

I know. Yet, every off-season there are fans complaining that we didn't sign the highest profile (insert position here) player on the market. It doesn't ever seem to work out when we do. Or very seldom.

I remember posting about this and the fact that Green Bay pretty much always waits until the first round of high prices FA's go off the board before they start signing people. At this point we shouldn't be signing anyone high priced...the amount of dead money the last two seasons should be sign enough.

You build through the draft. Add some key players through FA, but you build through the draft.

The problem was that before Jeff Ireland showed up our drafts pretty much stunk.
