Supposedly Saints May Get Someone Really Good.

So, it started with this.

And evolved into this discussion -

https://saintsreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=382397&page=7

The source is a New Orleans radio host who originally leaked out the contract details for Drew Brees contract. A second source confirms this is where it originated from.

This source claims there's imminent news that would top the Drew Brees extension. It's a former player, not Graham or Butler.

So, this is either Saints fans being delusional, or it's their very own Sig. Keep an eye out.

The real question is how do the saints have any cap..... To sign all these guys and Drew.....

Exactly what I've been saying. Their GM obviously knows how to manipulate the cap. He just does not make all the right decision about who to get. Not that I believe they are getting Johnson and I'm not even sure how good he'd be at 32 after two years off.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
