Just some thoughts on the possibility of having signed McCoy...

First, didn't buy the argument, logic we didn't have a place for him, because we wouldn't have gone after Suh last year with a healthy Rankins and Onyemata...

Second, Mickster and Loomis must have either not had available cap space or, if we even made an offer, was significantly lower amount of contract money as Smash suggested...

Third, If the Saints Front Office were expecting a contender discount, it really wasn't in the calculus for what McCoy and his agent were about as Cher suggests...

Finally, Saints are really trusting the medicals on Rankins injury and that either is very encouraging, or in light of recently, similar cases (i.e. Fairley, Unger, Meredith) scares the sh!t out of me...

McCoy definitely would have solidified DT3 group with uncertainty of Rankins Achilles tear, but McCoy's gone from playing with CrabCraws to the Abstinent Sham, so he'll see the same results...

SmashMouth and K Major like this.
