Jordy Nelson has been cut

Not worried about Graham.

Read reports of Austin Sefarian Jenkins being a option.

Happily take a shot on a prove it deal with Bennett or Eifert.

Or draft a young guy

Or even 1 year deal Ben Watson,Antonio Gates

We might as well stand pat and get a TE in the draft - the thing I liked most about a possible signing of Graham was we could mask a need in the draft...

Those really are not options I'd want to sign and go into training camp...

I think Jordy could possibly end up returning to GB on a restructured deal.

Well it's eff Jimmy again lol. He made a big mistake I think. No coming home now big fella, and you probably cost yourself a shot at a ring.

I'm curious who (if any) is on the Saints FA short list? :

Butler
Mathieu
Wilkerson
Linebacker (insert name)

The #Bills are signing S Rafael Bush for up to $4.5M over 2 years, source said. The former #Saints safety has a new landing spot.

Things are unusually quiet on the Saints front. A more conservative approach to free agency maybe?

Good for Butler (money).

Dude shouldn't have been benched minutes before kickoff in the SB.

brees84 03-13-2018 04:54 PM

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency
 
So, I guess we have to sign Trumaine Johnson. lol

frydaddy 03-13-2018 04:56 PM

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency
 
Hallelujah. Didn't want to see Butler brought in unless it was for dirt cheap, and that would never have happened. Don't believe in the guy, never really have. Twice now we've dodged that bullet.

Who tied up Mickey and tossed him in the janitor’s closet?! This isn’t the conservative approach I’m used to lol.

I would like to see us sign Breaux and see if he can stay healthy rather than overpaying for big name free agent.

Hey, now he got to turned down the Saints and remove some of that sting from being traded...

Curious to see when one of these numbnut twitter reports can give us the difference in the offers...

jeanpierre 03-13-2018 05:41 PM

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency
 
Teams like the Chiefs and Titans really have pulled some stoopid schite over the years, mucking it up for other teams...

But two recent examples really just have me shaking my head...

Slammy Watkins, 3 years, 48 million, 30 million guaranteed

WTF?!? Really?!? WTF has this guy done to deserve that kind of money?!? How the hell with the current cap structure are we going to be able to afford to keep Mike Thomas in two years when you signed this busted potential to that kind of coin? Attempting to sign Thomas a year early is not likely going to get it done. But why o why KC did you blow the freaking market apart like that? I've got tremendous respect for Andy Reid the coach, but his is absolutely stupid...

Malcolm Butler, 5 years, 61 million, 30+ guranteed

While the average per year is slightly better on this deal, why are you signing a No. 2 CB to No. 1 money; well the Titans may hang their inability to get to the legit circle on Marcus Mariota, but it really should be on GM Jon Robinson. Robinson went from being a grad assistant/LB Coach at nearby Nicholls State, worked his way through the Patriots Organization to be the GM of the Titans, held all the cards in the draft just two years ago, now goes and schitts this deal? This would be the coup de gras in his run if he was with any legit team, but the Titans are used to sucking balls and they'll keep him with some lame excuse. But in the meantime, he just set the market way out for free agent cornerbacks that are not No. 1s...

Signing players was a lot easier when the Packers didn’t believe in free agency.

Meh, let the packers overpay for everyone. I still like our chances better.

Heading into FA, Kurt is ranked as the 20th highest paid safety in the NFL.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/average/safety/

The Saints front office hardly over paid for a solid contributor.

Had the same feeling until I saw what the first crop of FAs are getting paid. No way we take that kind of swing on a single player.

I'd take Clayborn and Jordy Nelson though!
