Saints should lose at least 4-5 key starters this offseason

I think Otah's days are numbered with the Panthers. He'll get one more year.

One of the only posts that NJP has made that I truly agree with and could believe is that he mentioned "hearing" that Otah is in the serious dog house with Rivera and it's basically Marty keeping him on the team.

I bet Nicks is going to develop a cult following this off season here and bet a lot of people are going to crying for us to go after him. Just remember we have two starters coming back on the right side next year.

Yeah, and didn't he move his wife and kids out of the Bayou reecently to Texas?

Hmmm, I bet Jerruh would love Breesus wearing the Lone Star on Sundays. I think Ol' Romo is 4 years into his current contract already............

I like the way you think......no contract now = competing numbers later, and a consideration for a mega-trade?....who would step up to this level for a 33 year old, and will those offers show up? Jets??? Dallas??? I'm intrigued.....

New Orleans would burn down if Brees left.

I dont see it happening.

Sounds about right, it is NO afterall they're lucky they got a SuperBowl out of it. Brees gone, back to normal, back to the Ain'ts, the world will be back to equilibrium. The Panthers will be back to stomping them like we should be.

Not worried about getting Nicks. It will be nice to have Schwartz back in the lineup. So even if Otah is fat and lazy, we have someone that is more than capable at tackle or guard. Also not worried about Meachum or Colston, I worry that Brees makes them look better than they might actually be. If Hurney can get Claiborne or Kirkpatrick in the draft and then hit on a stud WLB in the 2nd, I'll be pumped. I truly believe the first half of our season was tanked for the sake of Fua and McClain getting snaps, and it will pay off next season. I don't want another rookie DT next year.

Also kind of satisfying when you think of the fact that the huge contract they threw at Evans will also inflate the cap number for Nicks if he is tagged. Double bonus.

The Saints actually have around 31 million if the cap is the expected 125. The 106 figure counts Bree's as making 12 million for next season and that has been voided, so they have a cap figure of 94 million right now. More then enough to sign a large chunk of those key guys and still have room for their draft picks.

as usual... Otah in the dog house? that joke of a human being really went out on a limb...

I won't be surprised if we grab a LT with our 1st... per inside source.

The Panthers really wouldn't gain much but cutting Otah would they? They might as well let him stick around one more year because he will be playing for a contract next year right? If he ever is going to stay on the field and produce, it would be this coming year because he has to. He may surprise people because contract years have a way of "awakening" people.

Good points. He is still cheap on his rookie contract and will be playing in 2012 for his next contract. If he is going to step up and be the player we want him to be, 2012 is the do or die year.

I actually think he will return to form and have a great year. Not sure if I would sign him to a big contract in 2013 though if he does, unless it was incentive laden.

I see him doing it for the reason that he'd like to make another run for the SB. I don't think Bree's is worried about the money.

I believe that he could get the tag as well Rock but I just think if he signs a new deal it'll have a discount on it.

One would think that, but from what's going around, it sounds like he is going to break the bank.

And by all means I hope that Brees does break the bank. That would only help us out. It just seems to me that when anything comes up in the NFCS that isn't about the panthers it swings in others favor. Just being pessimistic.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
