La'El Collins may be in play after all

Williams can go kick rocks haha.  I would take La'el at RT over him.  Though with Oher looking to be our starting LT, I would take La'el at LT over him, even if he were to struggle his first year.

 

Well they are thinking of grooming Williams into a left tackle.  We can have both.

He would have to be 110% cleared with no possibility of any involvement in that murder at all. After the one incident that scarred this organization and then the Hardy fiasco, it would have to be carved in stone that he is totally innocent to be considered as a UDFA here. Then that may not even be enough for J.R.

I fully expect the Saints to be in play when he's cleared. He would have been the pick at 13. We can offer him an immediate starting spot and an opportunity to stay home and play for the team he grew up watching.

It will be very interesting to see how it plays out. I think it comes down to the Panthers and the Saints, if both decide to throw their hat in.

Yeah, he can either decide to stay home or come play with his boy. But, if he wants to play for a serious contender, he needs to come here. I'm not trying to talk poo, we're just a better position right now

To be fair, at 21, I'm not entirely sure how much being a part of a contender is worth. With Brees, for the next 2-3 years, the Saints are just as much of a contender as the Panthers, and I feel like they've made huge strides to protect the future this offseason as well.

I definitely think it comes down to Trai vs. staying home. Panthers have a pretty big play piece. So do the Saints. I just hope he's able to make the best out of this situation, honestly. While I would love him in NO, I can't help but feel for the kid if he's innocent. He really got dealt a raw deal.

You think Brees is sticking around for 3 more years? He seems to be declining. I guess I gotta see that team on the field this season with all of the change they did over the off-season before I consider them a contender. We were solid in a lot of areas and built upon our weaknesses so I expect us to be one of the best teams in the NFC next year. 

 

He's going to be an immediate starter wherever he goes.. he definitely got screwed if he is cleared in the situation.

While it is a distinct possibility, I refuse to get my hopes up at all.

Even if he is found not have been involved at all, I KNOW how Jerry Richardson feels about such problems, and even being associated with it.

I don't think Richardson would allow Gettleman to even consider the kid.

Definitely. Brees will retire a Saint. The offense will still produce. I'm anxious to see the defense. Im excited about adding Browner and getting Byrd back. I think we got more athletic at linebacker.

I'm highly skeptical that you'll be one of the best teams in the NFC. It's hard for me to believe that, coming off of a 7-8-1 season. Just being real.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
