Word is Jabrill Peppers is losing his starting spot to Randle with the Browns.  Shot Panthers try to trade with the Jack of all Trades Browns for  Peppers?

Then we could have 2 J. Peppers playing defense for us.  I am all into important stuff.

I get the feeling we're gonna have zero.

Hey, I like those options. They have a Gman/moneyball/value aspect about them.

Realistically, I would cut Ryan and Sheperd and maybe rework some deals.  This is based on the $19m we have to spend and the 9 needs we have.  Marty's loyalty gets him in trouble--here, Kalil is his albatross.  Second chances should come with an increase in experiential knowledge.  Not with Marty--in fairness, I think RR is behind this as much as anything.

That's a real possibility.

I think we keep Ryan for a few reasons but knowing that we are tied to his brother at LT this year we probably don't want to kill whatever motivation he has left.

I know it will probably never happen but man I would love someone to throw a huge 2 year all guaranteed deal at Brees and lure him away from the Saints.  That would rock.

The problem is there is no team in FA that would be a better fit in terms of winning than the Saints.

 

Saints already have a loaded offense. Who can offer Brees that?

[Mr. Scot]

41 million for Brate?

Not saying he sucks, but man...

Spending serious money the past couple days. Didn't they do this a few years ago for a WR, G, and a CB? Granted, they were all outsiders and these are re-ups, but still... hope it works out the same way for them.

Only 7 a year. That's not a bad number.

Agree, chances he leaves there are very slim to none.  Would be nice though.

Evans, Brate, and Jackson all with big money deals, and a first rounder last year on Howard. No excuses for Winston in the passing game... Bucs are spending money. Maybe not wisely, but they're spending it.
