I get that. But if we can't post rumors on Saints message baords then what the hell is the purpose of the message board? Kind of thought that this was the appropriate forum for this type of thing.

You have no idea how the deal is structured in terms of guaranteed money.

friend told me such a rumor was told to him. I obviously have no idea whether it's true. In fact, neither does my friend. Neither does his source.


I heard Payton's penalties are going to be completely overturned by Goodell and he is giving us a 10 year 50 mil salary cap bonus. Just passing along rumors

Fair enough. I hope it's true. I also think we all assume a deal will get done at some point. So I'm not sure why it's so crazy to think it could be done now.

I think we're surprised at the amount more than the timing.

I think Loomis has Drew by the nuts to get a deal done around the 21-21.5 mill range, like mouth said... what was the point of the holdoff all this time. Hopefully we get good salary relief from suspensions. Waiting to see how else they gonna make room.

This. You posted what you heard, then qualified your statement by noting that it was a rumor and should treated as such. You didn't come here speaking in anyway to insinuate otherwise. I don't understand why people are getting bent out of shape.

It's not like your quoting Otto the garbage man or something. It sounds like you have a reasonably reputable source who may or may not have some insider info. Thank you for sharing it and I hope you're right.
