Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

Not going to lie, but I'd love to get Akiem Hicks back - could you imagine Onyemata and Hicks bullying interior offensive lines?

Matty Ice probably would go ahead and retire...

It would be incredible. Hicks HATES us though. I’ll never understand why we tried to make him line up at DE.

That was during Payton’s square peg round hole phase. Right around the time he started to try and copy the Legion of Boom defense in Seattle in spite of not having a single player that would thrive in that scheme. I’ll have to say though I think he learned his lesson and takes more of a hands off approach with DA.
Speaking of, we are about to find out just how good DA really is. If he can keep this defense top 10 I see a head coaching job in the very near future.

I saw some banter between him and Cam on Twitter. Cam told him to come to New Orleans and he said hell no. Told Cam he should go with him somewhere else. I think there’s a lot of bad blood between Hicks and Payton or the FO. Money talks though...wait never mind we don’t have any.

Don't know if he's got anything left in the tank, but T.Y. across from @CantGuardMike would be interesting if you got Ole' TY back...

Man... the Patriots really botched free agency. They gave big contracts to meh players to compensate for their horrible drafting.

I’m thinking the same thing Chris. All the fans here are excited about it though, so one side is wrong.

I can understand being excited about it. It’s always exciting signing new players... especially when your team stinks as they do now. They overspent on mediocre players though. They gave Nelson Agholor so much guaranteed money when better WR’s were out there signing for so much less. Plus, they just spent two high draft picks on TE’s and had to spend big on two different TE’s this offseason.
