That's "average nfl player" money nowadays. McCoy can still play at elite level. If this was beginning of the offseason he would get that money easily.

Cam Jordan is underpaid. Probably in line for big extension.

May be out of reach for us.... ten teams reported in play.

SmashMouth · 05-24-2019, 06:58 AM

Cam Jordan, Sheldon Rankins, Gerald McCoy, Marcus Davenport, AND Malcom in the middle!

I guess you're right. I did some research...maybe we should be giving the money to Cam and extending him. Lol.

Not counting on Rankins to play this year, and if he does, that'll be lagniappe - But he won't be the explosive player he was right away before the injury...

Signing McCoy likely put us in the Superbowl and despite his age, rotating, even teaching Onyemata, he would help make our opposition's 3rd and distance perilous...

As far as Cam, he's now earning his contract and under contract, and quite realistically, he can smell a ring and the extra mil per year won't buy him that ring, which checks a big box for HOF discussion...

I think we’re out. Too many teams can offer him $10 mil fully guaranteed. We can’t.

We have Mickey Loomis - no one can schlep the numbers like Mickey...

True but per some twitter feeds have reported "multiple years/double digits" type deals ... man the Saints just can't afford to keep up with the Jones's.

You got too many other younger, talented players to eventually pay.

Nothing is over until it's over but I just don't see McCoy signing in NO.

A glimmer of hope...
