No, I'd be shocked if he did and that's why I had that option down the list at No. 4... But then again, who'd ever thought Lattimore would fall to us? I just think we need to keep our cap flexibility ready in the event that Lawrence hit the market... Know, Lord knows I know, we got burnt with signing the big shiny FA when we got the Byrd... But DeMarcus Lawrence, across from Cam Jordan - that'd be sick! But I just don't see Safeties Nor Linebackers hitting the market worth the money... I'd rather send a few people packing, pick up some more draft picks, and build through the draft... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Saints Offseason Checklist
DE - love Oak but hope to upgrade this spot
WR - love to see us go veteran here like Jarvis Landry SS who can roam the line and cover OG/OT of the future LB - still looking for my sideline to sideline athlete |

For a #4 WR, he was pretty damn good last season. |

Re: Saints Offseason Checklist
Been doing some opposition research on the Cowboys, and boy are they vulnerable this off-season...
They've got three key players to re-sign on defense DE Demarcus Lawrence, DE/DT David Irving (RFA), LB Anthony Hitchens... Plus RG Zach Martin will be in the final year of his contract and the Cowboys will want to extend him... Cowboys are four-plus deep at DE - DeMarcus Lawrence, David Irving, Tyrone Crawford, Taco Charlton... And then there's prodigy Randy Gregory, his dope problems, but Charlton's selection may have been there tell... Figure there's a one-in-ten chance that they let Lawrence hit the open market, but I'd still be ready for a move... This is where it gets interesting... David Irving is a 6'7" LDE, playing 3DT, a 24yo RFA with 4 sacks and 4 FF in 2016 with 7 sacks and a FF in 2017... And MLB Anthony Hitchens who started slow in 2017 with a knee injury, replaced oft-injured Sean Lee at MLB... Hitchens is looking for a honest effort to compete at the MIKE and the Saints are now contenders for next season... The Cowboys are going to have to make a difficult decision and let at least one of these players likely go... We're in a very good position this offseason... Our three best FAs are Brees, Kelemete, and Vaccaro; then there's Okafor who had a late-season-ending injury... Only wildcard is some players really like playing for the Big Markets - NYC, Dallas, Atlanta and LA... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Saints Offseason Checklist
OT who can play guard like Peat. Understudy Center to Unger. DE and can always use another LB for competition.
