Nicks and Evans are key to Brees' success. He is a short QB, and they keep people out of his face. Brees makes mistakes when pressure comes from the middle. I hope Nicks goes to the AFC. Colston will find out how good Brees was when he becomes a pretty average WR for a team like the Jags or Browns.

Robert Meachem and Tracy Porter are also UFA's as well.

Meachem will cost less to keep than Colston, and they have other weapons (Sproles, for example).

So me, I'd keep Nicks.

What will they do? Don't know.

true but he is not the best OL on that team, compared to the best WR on the team. give me the WR.

Not worried about whether he's the best o-lneman on their team.

Only care if he's better than the guy we have playing the position now (and yeah, he is).

colston and the other WRs have always looked better than they are because of brees, the scheme, and their oline that gives him time and protection.

nicks is a huge part of that.

you want cam to be even more lethal, give him time and space to make the most of the weapons he has. it doesn't matter what targets you get him if he doesn't have time to get it to them.

OL is a much higher priority than WR this year.

on the saints, colston can (and has) been pretty easily replaced. nicks....not so much. losing him will be a lot more harmful for their offense.

by that same token, we would benefit a lot more from taking someone like nicks over colston.

Agreed. I won't be surprised if Colston goes elsewhere next year and isn't as dominant.

Typical Saints response:

WHO DAT! RESIGN NICKS, COLSTON AND BREES FOR HOMETOWN DISCOUNTS! THEN WE'LL TRADE CHASE DANIELS TO THE PANTIES FOR A 1ST ROUNDER BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS CAM IS THE NEXT JAMARCUS RUSSELL. THEN WE'LL SIGN DESEAN JACKSON, REGGIE WAYNE, VINCENT JACKSON SO BREESUS WILL HAVE MORE WEAPONS TO PASS TO. HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR THE NFL DOESN'T CHEAT AND MAKE US PLAY MORE THAN ONE GAME OUTSIDE OF A DOME, JUST GIVE US THE NFC WEST WITH RAMS AND CARDINALS AWAY WITH THE 49ERS AND THE SEAHAWKS AT HOME. WHO DAT! :conehead:

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
