I did NOT see that comin.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

WOW... he's running to Popeyes for a sammich now.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

I did. Like i said in an earlier post - "I'm fine with it"

I'll re-post from the FA thread:

Peat's been injured for two years. Coaches have to feel comfortable with his health and role in the offense.

So I ask you - Who ELSE are you signing?

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Smfh.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

I guess they are just glutton for punishment

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Wut??

Guess Brees is going back to the Injury Report then. Good job Taysom's fast, because he will be running for his life.

This team is all about familiarity scared to shake things up. Next up we will sign Ginn as our #2 maybe bring in Cadet

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Dude better show up in shape and hungry.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

When Peat was healthy he actually looked good. They must have confidence that he can return to form. They do know FAR more than we know about the situation.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

There you go using reasoning and common sense; may God have mercy on your soul

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

It depends if he took a discount. If he did I like it. I know he is better than he showed last year.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Benefit of a weak FA class at guard, not pleased about this signing. Wonder how long before he gets hurt again

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

He prolly took a discount ... And he may have a no Popeyes Sammich clause in this new contract.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

They finally got peat the equipment he needs to succeed brand new cushions for his asre. Cause that’s where I remember him at full health

Blech

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

😅😅😅😅

And the usual suspects will tell you how you're wrong and the front office is right. Surrrrrrreeeeee. You were wrong when he was being flattened in the playoffs repeatedly leading to our loss. I actually thought he turned a corner after returning from the I jury last season then he went back to getting run over.

Stupid move, stupid front office. We will not win the division this year and we will be taking a huge step back.

Prob is still on the roster. Has the guy actually played...at all? WTF are we doing. Go and get an aging safety whose best years are behind him. We are terrible with personnel decisions.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

That's a lot of guaranteed money for someone that's been hurt a lot. I sure hope they know something that we don't.

XLIV CHAMPS

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

I don’t like it OG. He’s been grading out bad for at least 3 years now. Can’t stay healthy. Isn’t living up to his draft position. I can understand bringing him back but at that price? He should have got a 2 year - 14 million kinda deal. I’m not feeling this move at all.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

And nobody wanted the guy that I heard?

Start off pup lol.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Of course the coaches know more than any of us ever will however we can still raise eye brows on the direction we are going at an area of weakness.

It's certainly fair to say that this was a questionable move.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Maybe Sean Payton's ChineseFlu has gotten worse, compromised his decision making?

I'm sure you know best.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

He didn't rank all that high last year for stat. guys. As far as the eyeball test, he didn't rank too high there either.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Those factors and unknown others had to have come into play. The people that make these decisions have far more information than any of us sitting here tapping on our keys.

Except, of course, those brilliant members here that know all.

:D

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Ugh, please tell me we were not bidding against ourselves. Feel like we could've saved about 25% on the Peat contract if not for that fluke Pro Bowl appearance.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Sorry proofs in the pudding. Peat has disappointed me/maybe us he was a leak in the tarp got hurt seems we were doing alright without him a while came back, he did ok till the playoffs and turned into a bum.

The KC Chiefs were interested...

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

I dont think that's possible for anyone on this board....everyone knows that place belongs to you

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Super Bowl babbbie. Ya peat stays home

Dude being hungry is why he shows up out of shape.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

It’s not about who’s right or wrong, it’s about who has the most information.

We know when we saw Pete get injured but we don’t know how long he was playing hurt before and after.

I do not defer to the front office because I think they are right... Much like a draft pick, only time will determine that.

I defer to the front office because they made a business decision with more information then we all cumulatively possess.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

I think the FO took the best option available. Name 7 guards that are available?????

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Very disappointed...

We just signed one of the worst starting OGs to a fat long term deal, and from what I’ve read the guy was getting ZERO interest on the open market.

We just solidified having a weak interior O line for years... great!

This offseason so far has been a bust.

Edit:
As someone posted, he got some interest from KC. Should have let him walk. :/

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

We have one on the roster named Nick Easton.

Go look at our offensive performance through the year. Pick our best 5 games in yards or points, and look at who played OG (here is a hint, Peat wasn’t one of them).

For those saying he was hurt all season... please, most players get banged up and play. Furthermore, when has Peat ever been good? Certainly not good enough for this big contract.

I’m willing to bet he gets cut in less than 3 seasons.

Re: Saints agree to terms with G/T Andrus Peat on five-year contract
 

Yeah your right... let’s not ever question decisions they make... we all know how good we are in free agency with our great pick ups like Byrd and Browner, while we let guys walk like A. Hicks and Jenkins... but sure let’s not question it.
