Free agent LG Carl Nicks confirmed to WWL-TV in New Orleans that he does not expect to be back with the Saints.

Wouldn't mind bringing him in to help the o-line with Hangartner a FA and Schwartz maybe not coming back.

I would love him but I don't know if we've got the funds to do it. But if he wants to get on the Cam train he better take a discount.

Not happening, we will not pursue any big time FA's, that was pretty much JR's words. Only mid grade FA's.

[IplayedCam#1317]

Yes because we have 30 Mill to give.

[Cat'sGrowl]

yeaaaaaahhhh.....

[Reapuh]

He wants to be the highest paid guard in the league, won't happen here.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Marques Colston,Carl Nicks and Tracy Porter are about the only Saints I'd want on our team.

Who wouldn't want Nicks?? But at 10-11 million a year I don't think he is good enough for us to spend that kind of money. With Newton's mobility and our scheme, money spent on guard doesn't seem a high priority.

[PhillyB]

i would take him, but there's almost no way it happens. not with so many holes on defense.

[Chaos]

fug this smelly n'awlins beyotch, let some other team overpay him to protect their midget QB like he did for Brees.

[Panthercougar68]

Hurrr derrr Brees hometown discount willz allow us to keep hims hurrr deeee durrrr

Oh yes he is. I remember a lot of Cam's bad passes coming from getting the guards pushed back into him.

[Mr. Scot]

PFT headline reads "In my mind, I'm pretty much gone."

Panther fans who read that will insert the words "to Carolina" at the end :sosp:

You could always tell Saint fans that he's paraphrasing James Taylor as a subtle hint.

[KillerKat]

Really, we can cut and restructure players to get what we want. RG is a big hole with Hangman a FA and Schwartz not tagged. It's important to protect our franchise QB. And like CPF said, a lot of Cam's bad throws were due to being hit by his own guards. I believe it's possible and if we get Nicks along with 1 FA defensive player (ala 2005) and then focus the entire draft solely on defense, we would be top contenders.
