Every NFC South team loading up for a fight at the championship (except one.) Going to be interesting to see who will succeed. Sanders gives Brees another target besides Thomas. We will get to watch them kick our asses all season...if there is a season.

Does anyone know how long a team can go over the cap limit or at least when they have to be compliant?  Unless the Saints are releasing some folks or got some re-worked contracts pending, I'm fairly certain they went over the cap limit with the Sanders deal.  They were close to the limit before that.

Edit: The only other way that could have pulled off that feat was to seriously back-load the Peat and Sanders deals to where they both are making peanuts in year 1.

Another couple of moves are in the pipe, don't you fret. We still need space to sign our draft class.

So signing a WR that is on the back end of career to a 8 million a year contract is good? Especially when they're having have to restructure to free up the funds.

The Saints have been in "win now" mode for about 3-4 years now. This is probably Brees last year, so they may as well move all their chips into the pot. 

Sure, it will likely come with a precipitous fall in the next 3-4 years as they enter "real" cap hell but I would make the same sacrifice too if I knew my legitimate window for a Super Bowl was just basically next season.

Remember, MOST free agents under-perform their contracts.  The name brands most always do.  Every year, people get all bent out of shape over free agency.  We are doing exactly what I thought we'd do in free agency.  I like our approach--high upside, low risk.  No--not all are going to become superstars.  Role players is what you seek in free agency unless your franchise is in "win now at all costs" mode.  This crowd bitches that we do not take the bait in free agency.  While this may fill a need (NO lost a few WRs from last year) it is what it is.

We are just basically accumulating rental players. All short term contracts.

Saints won't make the playoffs this year.  Competitive NFC and even more competitive NFC South.  and Drew's accuracy over 20 yds is crap all last season and is only going to get worse.  Their transition to Taysom officially begins this season.

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)

      Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
