Side note - didn't think Warford played all that poorly in New Orleans though.

I was about to say that it takes two parties to make a deal. The Saints may have been willing to pay the extra million, but he would have wanted to actually be here. Player deals are not made in a vacuum. Don't forget he was coming from Cincy so he may not have even needed to move from his home when he chose Cleveland.

Loomis clearly stated then, months later, and the following season that they had a number (salary slot) for the position and they were not going over it...

While I applaud the cap discipline, I've never understood (more apparent in MLB) why teams will overpay for second, third tier players and the pay scale is not in sync when the gap in talent is overwhelming greater...

Never believed Warford justified that kind of money, especially when Detroit had grown tired of his act...

And while KMajor was correct to point out Zeitler's interest to stay in the Midwest, his agent even said he'd hoped New Orleans would've made more push, sell for his services...
