Sorry to keep giving you guys the facts that conflict with your fantasies about Saints demise Check out what Carl Nicks is saying for himself. Man this has to hurt!

Just spoke to #Saints G Carl Nicks, who is obviously relieved to hear he won't be franchise tagged. ... "Hopefully they do want to sign me. Maybe its part of a greater scheme: Tag Brees, sign me, sign Colstpn. We'll see/" Nicks said he's definitely still willing to re-sign with Saints and hopes it will happen.

Saints have already lost Nicks? LMAO What team did he go to? Oh that's right he is still with the Saints and has publicly said he wants to stay

Saints just somehow seem to get it right

"Those guys are important pieces to the puzzle. I love both those guys," Brees said. "I mean, Marques, man, he's been my guy for six years. And we've been through a lot together. And certainly Carl Nicks, with the level he's at, it's hard to argue that, too. Obviously, he's one of those guys up front that keeps me clean. So both those guys are pretty critical. Meachem's up as well, that's a critical piece. Tracy Porter's up. Here's the thing, every year you're in this situation. This is why we've got one of the best in the business, Mickey Loomis, and our scouting department and our cap guy. You grind on the numbers and you find a way to make it work.

The reason it is taking so long is because the Saints and Brees want to make sure it is designed in a way that has the smallest impact on the cap. Don't be surprised if you catch yourself saying "how did they do that?" after the deal is done. It will be incredibly creative and will allow Brees to make sure that he will be a Saint for the rest of his career and pay him among the best while at the same time will open up space for the resigning of key guys. That is what makes the Saints and Brees unique. Best front office combined with a QB that puts the city and winning above ego. Don't be surprised when the Saints sign Brees to a 8 year contract worth around $120 Million and $40 Mill of that in signing bonus. That would give them a very negligible hit and allow them the space to sign Nicks, Colston, Meach and the key defensive players.

:lol:

"Brees will take a pay cut because he wants to stay in New Orleans and keep the team together"

:smilielol5:

PFT has an article up right now on a Brees interview where he pretty much says he won't sign the franchise tender because of his shoulder injury while playing under the tag in San Diego.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
