Saints signed Ginn and Klein on the first day of FA

Just think about it for a second. Contract details haven't come out yet, but this very first wave of  free agency is where bigger money is spent on the top players. The Aints actually signed both of these guys during this first wave. I honestly can't believe it.

Ginn is what he is, a speedster who can't catch the ball or do much else. Was damn solid with Cam as a deep threat but hasn't shown anything at all elsewhere outside of PR where he has declined over the years. Possible Brees can make him look good like in Carolina? Yeah for sure. But more likely he looks like his old Cardinals self. Wish he stayed because he fit here in his role, but not a huge loss and more importantly not a huge gain for the Aints at the likely cost they paid as a first wave FA.

And Klein was great here. Great depth LB and backup to Luke who played outstandingly in early '15 to help us get the 1 seed over the Cards with some of those early close wins without Luke. That being said, do you really want him as your starter? His coverage this year was among the worst by anyone in football, and he missed a lot of tackles (11.4% of them). By the end of the year he was third string Mike behind Mayo. If the Aints paid him starter money and expect to rely on him there, then they may be in for a surprise. Loved having him here but now he's the enemy. Is it all that surprising that McD didn't go after him? 

 

Of course contract details are important here but I anticipate they'll be pretty big. Folks here should stop the panick regarding these two. Because it looks like some more stupid deals by the Aints who seem to make them every single year in FA.

      In a lot of ways it makes sense to just draft a tackle early so they have flexibility with icky's injury and Motons not getting younger. I'd love for them to resign BC cause to me he looks pretty good anywhere they put him

      Rods the one who needs to go if they don't win a cup soon, Overall I like the way Tulsky operates, do i wish he had pivoted to several smaller moves instead of going all in on a big acquisition? Obviously.   But RBA is the one I'm locked onto, he is too stuck in his ways and if if "his way" can't get somthing done he just triples down and proves his insanity by trying the same stupid crap over and over, the facebook casuals will be like but but but 8 years in a row making the playoffs.... yes we'll guess what we should have at least a cup to show for it, yes only one team wins every year but this year will be the 8th consecutive year making the playoffs.... heck none of us even get excited about that and haven't in four years minimum.  Our top guys are nearing the peak of their prime the time is now, but the canes seem content to stand pat and "make the playoffs" anther 5-8 years in a row.

      #Panthers TE Tommy Tremble has a $2 million guarantee that is triggered today at 4 p.m. I don’t expect any movement there, fwiw. Tremble is due a $3.67 million base salary this season. He has another $2.4 million in incentives on his deal, per Over the Cap. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2032117015121391697?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
