Huge waste of money

I agree.

Good post.

Hilarious how Saints fans are posting on our board now about junk like this. Must mean we really are back on the map.

Good point again.

Grubbs got a lot richer by raping the Saints.

The New Orleans Saints allowed Carl Nicks, the No. 1 guard available, to hit the free agency market where he landed a five-year, $47.5 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

That's OK, though, as the Saints will replace him with Ben Grubbs, the No. 2 free agent guard. Grubbs comes from the Baltimore Ravens, who selected him their first-round pick in the 2007 NFL draft.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Grubbs will receive a five-year, $36 million deal that includes a $10 million signing bonus. That's about $11.5 million less than Nicks but Grubbs isn't that far behind Nicks talent-wise. This is a solid signing by the Saints when compared to Nicks' deal.

The Saints' adventurous offseason continues. From the bounty scandal to Drew Brees' franchise tag, it's been quite the offseason for New Orleans.

I loved Grubbs and would have loved him here. Not much of a drop off in talent but the money is a big time drop off

Haha.

took the words out of my mouth

mathis is a better OG, but whatever.

all this did was make it harder for them to sign brees.

hope it was worth it. :lol:

This was a good signing by the Saints, only the hater trolls think otherwise.

Grubbs is a good player, but I really think that Loomis is running up against a wall in not resigning Brees. I think he's calling his bluff on not signing the Franchise tender and I hope he loses.

it was ok...but they got a downgrade at OG and they made it harder to re-sign brees. does that = a good signing?
