What about your own Branden Albert?

Saints need a left tackle.

[TimBone]

Half those guys won't even hit free agency.

[Bowser]

I'd love to bring about ten of those guys in. But knowing that won't happen, try to land one of the safeties, and test the waters with Orakpo. Hali isn't getting any younger. A corner would be nice, as well.

[Quesadilla Joe]

Decker could make a killing on the open market this year.

[Bowser]

Decker could make a killing on the open market this year.

Fool's gold. Eric Decker is Alvin Harper v2.0.

[Fritz88]

Would BB renew Talib's contract and pay him accordingly?

He's arguably the best CB in the game and BB doesn't like to pay anyone but Tom.

But also Talib may not ask for top money due to previous trouble?

[Quesadilla Joe]

Fool's gold. Eric Decker is Alvin Harper v2.0.

I don't think he's worth the kind of contract he'll wind up getting. He's a solid #2 on a good team, nothing more.

[O.city]

I would absolutely pay Talib.

Give me Talib, one of the FS, and either a DL, or a WR and I'd call it a success.

[Bowser]

Jimmy Graham would rape faces in our offense, but there is absolutely no way we could afford him. Plus New Orleans would be crazy to let him go.

[O.city]

Graham is gonna want WR money, no thanks.

[thabear04]

Would BB renew Talib's contract and pay him accordingly?

He's arguably the best CB in the game and BB doesn't like to pay anyone but Tom.

But also Talib may not ask for top money due to precious trouble?

Vince Wilfork is a free agent too I don't see the pats letting him go.

[O.city]

Never pay Wr's big money who are leaving a HOF QB. That usually ends badly

[lewdog]

Erica Decker is a fraud.

[Chiefaholic]

I would absolutely pay Talib.

Give me Talib, one of the FS, and either a DL, or a WR and I'd call it a success.

You have seen the Chiefs cap situation haven't you? If the Chiefs accomplished this, they'd have NFL headquarters beating down the doors crying salary cap cheating. That shits only allowed in Denver

[ThaVirus]

Vince Wilfork is a free agent too I don't see the pats letting him go.

He's actually the type of guy they usually let go. I think he's somewhere around 34 years old.

[Bowser]

He's actually the type of guy they usually let go. I think he's somewhere around 34 years old.

Yep. They traded Seymour even though he has a ton left in the tank.

Brady is literally the only player they will not consider letting go.

[RNR]

2. Greg Hardy, Carolina Panthers defensive end
3. Brian Orakpo, Washington Redskins linebacker
4. Jairus Byrd, Buffalo Bills safety

24. Donald Butler, San Diego Chargers linebacker
25. Randy Starks, Miami Dolphins defensive tackle

Would love any of them. Doubt we have the money though.

Oakland has close to 65 million in cap space this year. You can scratch Houston and Veldheer off that list~

[O.city]

The salary cap can be manipulated.

If we have smart guys doing all the bidding, which we seem to, there isn't any reason we shouldn't be able to move money around and get about any 2 of these guys.

[The Franchise]

Can't afford any of them.

[Mr. Laz]

1. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints tight end
19. Eric Decker, Denver Broncos wide receiver

[Simplicity]

Aqib Talib and Vontae (if he's past his injury)

[mcaj22]

1. Chris Clemons

[notorious]

They didn't include Kendrick Lewis on the list.

[Bowser]

Hell no to Decker. Christ.

Vontae would be nice if he is 100%. Will be expensive, though. If we're spending big bucks, go for Graham or Orakpo.

[Sassy Squatch]

Reid sure makes free agency a lot funner than it used to be.

[Sassy Squatch]

Fuck Decker. Who the fuck even suggests that?

[J Diddy]

Hell no to Decker. Christ.

Vontae would be nice if he is 100%. Will be expensive, though. If we're spending big bucks, go for Graham or Orakpo.

I'd take any of those corners, Raji or Graham.

We don't need a linebacker, we've got 2 (should be 3) probowl linebackers.

[Bowser]

I'd take any of those corners, Raji or Graham.

We don't need a linebacker, we've got 2 (should be 3) probowl linebackers.

My fear is that Hali is beginning his decline. I hope not, but...

[Sassy Squatch]

Raji to NT and Poe as one of the ends?

[chaz]

Erica Decker is a fraud.


So he'd fit perfectly on the Chiefs. ROFL

[The Franchise]

I'd take any of those corners, Raji or Graham.

We don't need a linebacker, we've got 2 (should be 3) probowl linebackers.

Why did we cut Cassel? We had a Pro Bowl QB.

[Bowser]

So he'd fit perfectly on the Chiefs. ROFL

You can keep him and his dumbass E! Television show.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Talib.

[Bowser]

Talib.

:homer:

[Mr_Tomahawk]

:homer:

Talib would be an upgrade over anything we currently have...

[notorious]

We could have had Orakpo instead of T Jackson.


Fuck.

[Fritz88]

He's actually the type of guy they usually let go. I think he's somewhere around 34 years old.

Exactly. He's gone.

I really think that if we fix our FS situation then our secondary would be competent enough.

[houstonwhodat]

Jimmy Graham would rape faces in our offense, but there is absolutely no way we could afford him. Plus New Orleans would be crazy to let him go.


He ain't going nowhere the fans would riot.

Brees' contract is killing the cap.

He has to restructure his contract to keep Jimmy I think.

[tecumseh]

Go after Byrd or Ward. Resign Albert. Talib would be great. My guess is we couldn't afford Verner or Grimes. I think Hali is at plateau, careerwise, but he wants to win , plays heart and soul so Orakpo would be a slap at this point. I think raji would be available and worth a deal. I guess the WR's are coming from the draft.

[BigMeatballDave]

You have seen the Chiefs cap situation haven't you? If the Chiefs accomplished this, they'd have NFL headquarters beating down the doors crying salary cap cheating. That shits only allowed in Denver

Contract numbers can be adjusted.

[BossChief]

Exactly.

Ideally, I'd like to retain Abdullah and go after Clemons, Ward or Byrd.

This defense would be sick with any of those guys added.

[The Franchise]

Exactly.

Ideally, I'd like to retain Abdullah and go after Clemons, Ward or Byrd.

This defense would be sick with any of those guys added.

We still need to improve our pass rush.

[BossChief]

We still need to improve our pass rush.

Adding a safety like Ward, Clemons or Byrd does exactly that.

[ClevelandBronco]

Decker could make a killing on the open market this year.

IMHO, Peyton and the attention that must be paid to all of his other targets disguise the fact that Decker is just a guy.

[Chief Roundup]

Adding a safety like Ward, Clemons or Byrd does exactly that.

Pretty sure that Ward and Byrd are out of our price range. Haven't heard much about Clemons and what kind of money he is wanting. I wouldn't be surprised if Miami keeps him.

[OldSchool]

Vince Wilfork is a free agent too I don't see the pats letting him go.

The Pats are notorious for letting their big time FAs walk though. Wilfork could very well be available.

[Quesadilla Joe]

IMHO, Peyton and the attention that must be paid to all of his other targets disguise the fact that Decker is just a guy.

He is. But in a weak WR market Decker could get some decent coin.

[TimBone]

Adding a safety like Ward, Clemons or Byrd does exactly that.

This. One position improves this defense drastically. The biggest bang for our buck in FA is FS.

[BryanBusby]

IMHO, Peyton and the attention that must be paid to all of his other targets disguise the fact that Decker is just a guy.

Decker was a good target with Tebow throwing to him. I think he'll be fine when the Patriots eventually sign him as revenge for Welker.

What about your own Branden Albert?

Saints need a left tackle.
Albert would be a great fit in New Orleans, but they can't even afford to retain all of their own dudes. They certainly can't afford to give him the 10 mil/year avg that he wants.

[Msmith]

NO will probably franchised Jimmy Graham. And NE will gladly pay the draft choices to take him.
