Read he played well last year. Makes sense, vet to fill the spot and not force your hand come draft day

He’s adequate. Not as good as Janoris Jenkins but just kind of average. It would be a great signing in terms of not forcing us to address a need in the first round of the draft which is always a bad idea.

I wanted Breeshard Breeland 4 years ago ... outside of Sherman, I don't see any Kris Richard connections or guys he's familiar with.

Saints desperately need to draft a CB next month.

And then there's the Lattimore situation :rolleyes:.

Surely Loomis could find $7M on a one year deal for Nelson or Dunbar?

I'd even go Heyward on a one year $7M deal right now...

But a 33yo Sherman who's clearly breaking down?!? That makes no sense...

I really believed Awuzie was our "splash" signing to replace Janoris but the FO wasn't willing to pay what the Bengals ultimately paid for his services.

I know its not a popular opinion but i think next year is going ton be ugly.
The strength of the defense was on the defensive lines depth being able to constantly rotate and keep freesh. Thats gone and once again there is little opposite Cam Jordan and nothing at CB outside of Lattimore who looks likely to get some sort of suspension.

Again on the offense outside of Thomas and Kamara its all hope X steps up. Theres alot of holes to fill in the draft and little money.

I really don't think that opinion is as unpopular as you think.

Look forward to change, rebirth, opportunity to reload...

Oh i am
I dont think its all doom and gloom as theres really good pieces on the roster. Im just worried they have damaged the long term prospects for short term stability with these extensions.

Well the reload should have taken place last season; Drew was set to retire after the anticipated Superbowl Run until they shat their hat vs the Rams at home...

We'd probably be in the mix for a QB1 at the top of an exciting QB draft right now...

I'd like to see Taysom get a legitimate shot at being the Saints QB1 and it not be handed to Player No. 2 by default of team politics...

To your first point I agree whole heartedly that we'd be looking at getting a QB in the draft because of a better draft slot.

To your second point I truly believe that Winston will win the job and earn the starting spot. Personally, I believe that Taysom has reached his ceiling as a QB but there is still room for growth in his joker role. I'm not a Winston fan but I'm willing to reevaluate him throughout the season.

So why not bring in other CB2s if you know you've got to sign someone?

Fuller signed for less than expected and he'd taken CB2 off the draft need list...

This is where I'd never agree - Taysom had three (3) career starts after having not started at QB since college more than five years before...

Did everyone think he was suppose to be Drew Brees in his first start?

Has everyone forgotten Drew Brees was benched multiple times in his Chargers tenure?

Will agree that Jameis will be the starter and that has more to do with team locker room politics than play...

This could fill a hole left by Rankins.

That's the great thing about this scenario. We'll have an answer when we kick off the first game. Until then we can only speculate who Payton thinks has the higher ceiling and gives us the better chance to win. Please don't get me wrong I love me some Taysom but I feel like Winston will win the job.

Hard to remember... I recall them being really into Haason Reddick that year. The beat writers are saying we really liked Kpassagnon- specifically Ryan Nielsen.

The team will use 1 or 2 draft picks to move up for a TE to convert to CB and then cut him before the season starts....

I believe Fitz will give it one last geaux with a team that gives him the best chance at that ring before he retires. He was sooo close vs Steelers in that Super Bowl vs Steelers.

IMO Larry will be a first ballot HOF when he hangs em up. Nothing but class his entire career & one hell of a receiver.

Draft a rookie in the first or second round(first round preferably) and bring in one of those vets to help ease the transition for a rookie.
