That's because Winston is looking for a contract and, therefore, he has to put out a positive narrative on his recovery.

Thomas is under contract, so he has no need for such things from a business point of view.

We ALL know his injury history + he'll be 31 in July. I'm a HUGE fan of his but he can't stay healthy. It sucks but it's true.

I'll be curious to see what happens for him in Free Agency.

He's barely 25 and has incredible range. Does he take a bad angle from time to time? Sure he does but who doesn't? They all do.

Let me be clear, his range is a trait only a select few FS have at this level.

I'd be really surprised with the limited cap space we will have after some schlepping of other contracts to see him play under the tag, again...

Believe they'll either make every effort to sign him with a low cap number in the first year of the contract, best case situation...

Or the realities of finance will finally catch up to Loomis and he'll tell the staff and Williams' agent some disappointing news to fans...

Excuses DO NOT matter little man. I've got a closet full of em, but I grew up and came to understand excuses are for ***ies.

You broke a rule. Full stop. And you have been reported for it across the board. Do it again wash, rinse, repeat.

What will be as important in Free Agency as securing our FS in Marcus Williams and getting a proven quantity at WRz in DJ Chark or Christian Kirk, will moving contracts...

Armstead (FA), Peat (Sign/Trade), Malcolm Jenkins (Trade), and maybe one or two more surprise moves will be as important as acquisitions...

Wouldn't rule out Malcolm Jenkins hanging (retirement)) em up.

Of course, unless I've missed any of his recent interviews saying he's 100% returning for 2022.

Three (3) moves I'd like to see the Saints get done in Free Agency:
  1. Sign/Extend FS Marcus Williams

  2. Sign a WRz (e.g. D.J. Chark, Christian Kirk, Will Fuller)

  3. Sign all our RFAs/ERFAs

Are you leaning to QB in draft then?

If the right QB prospect fell to us and with the best value...

In the first round, I'd really like to to draft an uber RT and allow Ramczyk to take over at LT...

Latest mock I shared earlier on the Draft thread really would be an ideal draft scenario for the Saints that'd have me Farmer Fran'ing...

Hopefully we can afford a couple of quality impact free agents, namely a WR.

[quote=jeanpierre;944570]Three (3) moves I'd like to see the Saints get done in Free Agency:
[LIST=1][*]Sign/Extend FS Marcus Williams
Yes! Yes! Yes! He's the glue for the secondary.

[*]Sign a WRz (e.g. D.J. Chark, Christian Kirk, Will Fuller)
If we sign one of those guys and can't call Mike comes back healthy we have an above average receiving core. Callaway and company could easily hold down the number three and four receiving spots. Fingers crossed that we can retain Harris. I would draft or bring in a young player with more than just potential to compete with our current TE roster. When Taysom plays that role he's pretty good too.

[*]Sign all our RFAs/ERFAs
Yes Please!

With the new coaches on offense and with whoever the new OC is we might go with the RPO option, which opens the competition, rather than another in the pocket passer like Drew for all those years. Payton is gone now and we are looking at a new leader to help bring home another Lombardi.

DJ Chark Jr., Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin, Juju Shuster, Mike Williams.

Saints need to be aggressive here. Average joes = average results.

I was high on Michael Gallup before the injury (torn ACL) but I have a feeling Jerrah will take care of guys who put in work.

Quite possible he may end up re signing with the Cows.

No idea if/when the league will hand down a suspension on AK however ...

KC Chiefs RB- Darrel Williams becomes a FA next month.

Capable starter however with the emergence of Clyde Edwards-Helaire & McKinnon, Darrel has fallen down to #3 on the depth chart.

Even with Kamara we're going to need help at that position. Time to start looking under rocks.

Plus One. Need a big back to pass protect, get the short yardage stuff...

Kamara was never a high-volume back anyways...

I really thought we were 'pounding' him into the line too much - then again we didn't have a whole lot of options.

Good selection for FA WR's. Chark would be my 1st pipe dream but might overprice himself, I personally could go with any of the other up there but I really like Goodwin and Williams also. Going to see what type of O Allen has instore.

This is truly an amazing time to watch how our Saints move forward from Payton.

Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
 
With Vonn Bell helping lead his team into the Super Bowl today I was thinking it’s crazy how we let Bell walk because Payton regretted letting Malcolm Jenkins get away. In reality, we should’ve kept Bell. Personally, I’m kind of excited that Payton won’t be making personnel decisions anymore.
