I could see a 3 yr 18 mil a year for drew.Fairley, Morstead and Strief should be gone. MI is playing great but Alvin is a legit #1. I would keep both. KV would need to take no more than 4 mil for me to resign. Keep Ginn and let Snead walk.

Drew is not playing for less than 25mil/annum; now his hometown discount, concession may be a reduction in guaranteed years, but if he's playing at an elite level, you're paying for those performances...

Money will not be a top priority. I cant see it. He has more money than he could ever spend. This is where he breaks all the records and retires as a Saint. He wants to do what the best dream of, retire on top as a champion. He takes 25 a year he will retire broken because he would have no support.

There is no way in Hell that I let Morestead walk away and play for another team. If he is not the best punter in the league then he's damn close. I don't watch football anymore besides the Saints and their opponents but I do know that he is one of the best weapons that we have. Morestead is a stud and Loomis might have signed him to an expensive contract but he is worth every penny.

No punter is worth 4.5 million a year. Not ever the great Reggie roby.

Then would you make this move?

Round 4/5 JK Scott, P, Alabama 6045 202 4.76 #15 Sr

Thomas Morstead
Potential Out: 2018, 6 yr, $19,014,097; $700,000 dead cap
2018 Cap $4,850,000
Savings $4.1 mil in 2018

Would you do it?

In a heart beat but not in rd 4/5. Maybe 6/7 or a ufa. Got to be one that can hold the fort for under 2 million.

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list

Drew will sign for what he think is fair market value. 25M or whatever.

The saints need to present him a FA that Drew believes is worth taking a cut for.

That is his home town definition of a discount.

Lets see how players like say do the rest of the year

I am voting for proven veteran leadership in the secondary.
Morgan Burnett SS/FS/CB Packers (28) 6013 209 4.51 Green Bay $8/9 M

Sunday scouting possibility
Kyle Fuller CB Bears 5116 190 4.40 1st Round 2014 - $9/11 M

There is always
Eric Reid FS/SS San Fransico 6012 213 4.53 Rd 1 2013 $7/8 M

I trust in Drew to scout defenders.

Would Drew go for the best slot WR in the NFL?

Jarvis Landry WR Miami 5114 205 4.61 Rd 2 2014 4 - $10/11 M

Whatever happens it will be Drew making the call

Agree with Landry
Let Snead walk add a couple of million to what his money would be and try for Landry. Him and Thomas would rack up the yards with Drew
