[quote]Trying to negotiate guarantees? [/quote] This is the right answer. Agents are trying to get creative under the existing CBA that essentially slots values, so they are pushing for larger signing bonuses and more guaranteed money in the fourth year of the contract. Once a few of the earlie...

re: What’s wrong with Bregman?

For whatever reason, his timing appears way off. Could be anything - picking up the ball, injury we don’t know about or declining skills. Obviously his power numbers, including percentage of hard hit balls, are way down. He’s trying to drive a lot of pitches on the outer third pull side and simp...
Remember when he orchestrated the trade of a future sixth rd pick to get Tommy Stevens in the 7th to prevent Carolina from drafting or signing him as an UDFA? I remember him saying something like while he thought Stevens had some upside, he also did it to frick with Carolina. Stevens was on the PS f...
Every single draft pick has a legit chance to make this roster (to include PS), which speaks to both how good a draft class this is and how many holes the roster has....
Well, we now know it’s up to a $13 million deal if he meets playing incentives. To me, this is a case example of a prove-it deal. The Saints should get his best effort this year, because he’s looking for a big money long-term contract. If he plays well, it was worth $13 million. If he then leav...

Jonathan Abram re-signed.

[quote]I disagree with the tankathon folks. If you listened to Jon Stinchcomb the other day he said tanking or losing games on purpose can have a devastating effect on the culture in the locker room.[/quote] Agreed. You can’t just tell players not to try. A lot of these players are still playing ...

[quote]you cannot honestly evaluate youngs play until he has decent coaching around him.[/quote] Agree, and the skill position players around him don’t appear to be that good either. I was in the dome yesterday, and was kind of surprised by his running ability. I knew he was pretty fast, but ...

[quote]What coach will succeed with the overpriced contracts, dead money shite cap, and old players on the roster?[/quote] I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s necessarily bleak for years. The Saints just don’t use the same operating model with the cap as other teams. Yes, there are...

Michigan is a tough match for Bama. They have strength all along both lines and have playmakers too. ...

[quote]"frick Auburn, and LSU, and Tennessee too" are the Gump lyrics.[/quote] Response: RTWFY. I always wonder how players feel when they hear Calling Baton Rouge or Dixieland Delight (in Bama’s case). They weren’t born when the songs were written and I can’t imagine more than a very few, i...
[quote]I’d definitely get rid of them. [/quote] Honestly- I appreciate your and other posters’ perspective on this. Particularly hearing how they don’t regret cancelling. Not being able to give them away as gifts has been pretty eye-opening. ...
[quote]$6K for season tickets? Lunacy. Money could be very well spent elsewhere on something tangible.[/quote] I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but to say it’s lunacy is relative to perspective. It’s also relative to income. It’s what you value the experience to be and what you can afford. In...
[quote] figured I'll be able to get back in whenever I want later once we really suck.[/quote] That was sort of my thinking. My other idea was to move my tickets to the cheapest tickets available in the dome for the crappy years, and then move sections when it looks like there might be a glimmer ...
Last week, the Saints emailed me my season ticket holder survey. There’s a lot of questions about the game day experience, promotions, benefits, etc. But this year, they asked about the direction of the team and the organization, in the context of how you valued your season tickets. There was also ...
