Saints sign Anthony Spencer

1. Will be interesting to see how much Saints paid. Cowboys wanted to re-sign him and Seahawks wanted him

2. Wonder if this alters the Saints draft plans at all

Spencer just turned 31 in Jan 2015. For his whole career until 2013, he was a very good strongside OLB opposite DeMarcus Ware in the 3-4 defense. As a DE in the 4-3 last year, he recorded 27 combined pressures across 457 defensive snaps.

Anthony Spencer was ranked 21st (out of 59) 4-3 DEs by PFF in 2014 with a +2.1 grade.

Hope #Cowboys bring back Anthony Spencer (at the right

price). 4 QB hits, 11 QB hurries, 1 sack, 1 FF & 1 FR for a TD in

final 4 gms of 2014

But going back to a 3-4 team is better for him. The last time he played for Rob Ryan in a 3-4 (in 2012) he had 11 sacks and was a Pro Bowler

If we sign Anthony Spencer we'll draft a WR at 13

31 years old and often-injured, he wants a chance to start, and wasn't going to get it with Hardy now in Dallas. Spencer will move to OLB in New Orleans. It should be noted when he had his Pro Bowl year in 2012 under Rob Ryan in a 3-4, DeMarcus Ware attracted most of the attention away from Spencer. Cameron Jordan and Junior Gallette will not be drawing attention away from Spencer.

Eh.

 

Everyone will be sucking the Saints off like they signed a key peiece, Saints fans will act like we did when we signed Decoud  and Harper in the off season last year of signing a former pro bowler, when really this is just a solid veteran signing that alters te team but won't change the coer needs.

 

 

But lol @ the saints drafting WR at 13. Okay.

How can they afford to sign anyone at all?

 

10 days ago, G Jahri Evans signed a 3 year re-structured extension to lower his cap number this year by $4 million. There are no more easy fixes for the Saints this year from converting roster bonuses or base salaries into signing bonuses. They will now have to add years and money to existing contracts, and I doubt many more Saint players will agree to sign extensions until they know if Breesus will be back after his contract expires in March 2017.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
