Happy with this
Played well last year

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Not sure about the rest of you but I’m having the BEST off-season

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Yes, yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Now get Suh and let's decimate everyone in our path.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Hell yea, take no prisoners

Re: Saints resign Alex Okafor
 

Glad we have him back.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Here we go, one of the most underrated players last season. Great news.

If we sign Suh and he shows he can control himself on the field, our entire D could be looking deadly after the draft.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Like it's already been said let's sign Suh and pick up another DT and TE in the draft and kill the opponents

Re: Saints resign Alex Okafor
 

I was worried Alex was going to get away like Kelemente. Well done Loomie. Guys we are gonna be a damn good team this year.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

We would've been watching that while he's on another team!

C'mon JP, you gotta love this man. We have George Johnson and Hendrickson to fill in until he's 100%

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

I understand where you're coming from, but considering he was already on the team I'm pretty sure our medical staff has kept close contact and probably already have a solid idea of where he's at. It's also a pretty cheap deal, so it's not a huge risk. I think this was the right move. Other options on the market at DE look even less appealing than a guy coming off an injury. It takes care of a need and further opens up our options when the draft gets here.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

I like the move. He played awesome last year. I hope he can bring it like he did last season! Wonder how he's doing medically.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Would have preferred to wait and see how his rehab went first...

Didn't the Saints sign a QB that the Dolphins wouldn't touch because his throwing shoulder was nearly ripped off?

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

I heard on NFL Radio a couple of days ago that he is way ahead of schedule on the rehab. Not sure where that actually puts him.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Yeah. Whatever happened to that guy?

:confused:

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Me, too, and I had a colonoscopy this morning.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

but I grew up tough and I grew up mean. My fist got hard and my wits got keen

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Well, for every single case of Brees, there's numerous cases such of the Spillers and Byrds of FA and Kikahas, Tulls, Sunseris, Rufus Johnsons and Toons of the draft.

So, Brees is an outlier not the median.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

That's the easy part. It's the day before the colonoscopy that is a *****. Right?

I'm an expert. :(

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

I really like this. He's an above average player that we signed for a fair price.

Worst case is he becomes a great back-up.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Compared to this deal for Adrian Clayborn I’d say we did good on the Okafor contract...

The #Patriots are signing #Falcons free agent DE Adrian Clayborn to a 2-year deal worth $12M, source said.

I’d rather have Okafor personally. Clayborn has been mediocre throughout his career until one game against the Cowboys and their backup LT.

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

this is how stats don't tell the whole picture. Clayborn had a game not a season better than Okafor. The Cowboys had a backup OT for a backup in that game and OC didn't provide him any help (a running back, tight end or guard to chip block) Clayborne said after the game he beat him with one move the entire game that provided him with 6 sacks. You add 6 sacks to any player and his stats should be impressive after the season


Great choice N.O. Staff for signning Okafor

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

Good DEAL!!!!

Re: Saints Re-sign Alex Okafor!
 

He was possibly last years best free agent signing before he went down. I hope he's back at 100% even if it takes a little time to get back. He really fits the system DA runs.
