Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
 

Whichever one, if any, we pick up are going to be available at a much lower rate than if they were acquired earler in free agency. After the first few teams with lots of cap and great need hit the market (reduction in demand) and the promise of a new batch of WR's coming available in the draft (increase in supply) there should be some very affordable options via free agency over the coming few weeks.

Probably not a popular opinion but I’d like Akeim Hicks on that D line.

When healthy, he’s trouble.

Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
 

Certainly not popular with Akiem...

Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
 

I genuinely LOL’d at that one Ice!!!

He's moved past that according to Hicks himself.

Akiem Hicks finally burying the hatchet with the Saints

“Do I appreciate how I was cast aside?” Hicks told Nathan Smith for ChicagoBears.com. “I wasn’t good enough to play for that team? No, I don’t appreciate those things. You never forget, but you can’t carry hate in your heart, you know what I’m saying? I would also say that, man, you just appreciate those moments. I wouldn’t say it loses its luster.”

A recent trip down memory lane — a highlight reel of Marques Colston’s biggest plays during his and Hicks’ time together in New Orleans — turned the big man sentimental, and he found himself catching up with an old friend in Saints captain Cameron Jordan.

IIRC Bill Johnson was Hicks D line coach at the time.

Maybe Bill should have been the guy Sean sent packing “first”.

He isn't going to play a snap before november most likely.
