A person reads the Saints Forum (after the draft), and you can't imagine why. Imagine that.

Someone boo this man!

 

Its pretty normal. One or two of their fans have lived on this board for years. Its always good to have a few of our "secret agent trolls" on theirs.

Most of the big stories out today are about fifth year options, cuts, etc.

Here's one that's not though, and one that might be kind of important.

 

The wife and I had a good long conversation during the 1st round that something seemed off about Roger that night.

Nothing major, we both picked up on it but couldn’t exactly figure out what it was.

22 million for Love?

Is he really worth that much or is this just "F--- you, Aaron"?

To get that 22 the probably have to win the super bowl, in which the answer is yes.

13 for a unproven starter is a little steep, but not enough to cripple you and gives Love generational financial security so he doesn't have to think about surviving to the next contact.

They know what they are doing.

With the going rate such as it is I would say it's a small cost gamble on Love. But it is definitely an FU to Aaron.

I think you guys are missing why GB did it. 2024 was Love’s fifth year option, which was $20.1M fully guaranteed. They gave him the opportunity to earn 10% more but it also gives GB the opportunity to save $6.5M if he blows this year. Seems like a decent risk reward. If he’s all that GB wants, paying an extra $2.4M is no big deal but it takes 1/3 of the risk away from a fully guaranteed 5th year.

It’s similar to what we didn’t do for Darnold. We didn’t take any risk off the table for the what if he sucks option. Love deserves a bit of extra $$$ because unlike Sam, he didn’t have a track record of he sucks. Sam did have that he sucks track record and we still have him the fully guaranteed money instead of making our risk having to pay an extra $4M if he was so hood we had to franchise. The franchise tag is a lot more expensive for QBs now so GB took the correct approach.
