Saints sign Jairus Byrd

[DaCityKats]

You do realize that they signed Byrd knowing that they are mortgaging their future because Brees only has a couple of seasons left in him right? The Panthers aren't in the same situation as the Saints. IF they are going to win, they HAVE to win now.

 

so i guess every other team is mortgaging their future as well? Byrd is a stud FS, that just got paid by a team that had less money then the panthers. the panthers have been screaming we are cap strapped and rebuilding since 2010. that bs line is beyond old. again, you can manipulate the cap to how you want it. the panthers just choose not to.

Every other team? The Saints had little-to-no money to spend and then went out and bought a 54 million dollar safety to further complicate their issues. What other team did that? 

 

We HAVE been manipulating the cap man. How else do you think we are under it? Hurney really screwed this team by handing out so many big contracts in a short period of time. We would never get out of this situation if we didn't learn from our mistakes. Chill out. Free agency has just started, moves still have to be made, and the draft is yet to be had.

 

Everyone on this board seems to be having a meltdown like a 5-year old in Toys-R-Us that was told he can't get anything right after they see another kid's mommy buying that kid a new toy.

His contract has to be ridiculously back loaded. His cap hit this year is most likely minimal. They probably have some restructures lined up too.

The saints are fuged in the future. They are going all in

Yup. And when/if they get another Superbowl win during Brees' tenure I'd say it would be worth it. 

[Camsfanclub]

were gonna be so fuged in this division next year. Could just as easily be first as we could be last.

[CPcavedweller]

Remember when the Eagles brought in some big names.........and were considered the "dream team"?

Or when the Bucs brought in Vjax, Revis, Goldson, etc......and were declared a team that was going to compete for the division title?

wtf are some of you getting all pussified about the moves other teams are making? Signing big names in FA doesn't always equal a great season.

Mostly Lovie Smiths defense against our stagnant ass offense twice a year.

[Ricky Spanish]

Yeah but if Drew Brees goes down this year, they are fuged. Like long run fuged because this is a short sighted move. 

 

If Cam goes down our season is fuged, but the team is set up to be good 3-4 years down the line. 

[TylerDurden]

Thanks Gettleman! Mitchell, the best player in our secondary, is allowed to walk, most likely not even given an offer, and the Saints sign arguably the best defensive back in free agency.

Things are looking up.

This is going to turn into a mess for the Aints, I am not complaining.

an issue that can be manipulated again in the future, and if they do decide to bring in another guy, they will. the panthers do it to get under the cap, while teams like the saints do it to get top notch talent. hell even the Steelers who never go out and sign FAs did  so this year so far. i do know that it is the first day, and most of the signings dont bother me, but the saints obtaining Byrd makes them that much better.

 

panthers have been cap strapped and in rebuilding mode since 2010.
