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.

"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.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
