Yeah, talked to a friend who's a big Steelers fan this weekend (lost BF last week to the vaccine so we were catching up); mentioned Nelson, he said you can have 'em...

We hit on UDFA's because we have a vision for them. Some pop the first year like Harris while others need development and a season in an NFL weight room with a professional trainer. Where they learn new moves and techniques to fulfil Payton's vision. We have a ton of spots opening up and anyone competing will have a better shot than years gone by.

We have eight drat picks to help fill out the 30 or so spots on the roster. We can afford to bring in a mid-tier FA or maybe two and that leaves quite a bit of room to make the roster. We will probably bump up several PS members this year who are ready to take on their role.

Yeah, and that's what teams who win have to do, get rookies involved Year 1, and then coach 'em up, develop them, bring them along...

Harris should be seeing some significant snaps at WRz this year, which I look forward to having a QB who can throw with some accuracy downfield...

It’s interesting to think about how the COVID situation has impacted the Saints this off season. Maybe this has been brought up and maybe I’m stating the obvious here. But a good portion of the “Salary Cap Hell” the team found itself in was due to the massive cap reduction caused by the pandemic. They would likely have been slightly over either way, but it’s entirely possible Jenkins, Rankins, T Rex or some of the other cap casualties would have been retained without that massive reduction. Heck, it might have indirectly had an impact on Brees retiring. Just thinking out loud.
