Thought it was worth mentioning to you all on a Saints fan message board. Sorry if it offended anyone or if it's just too volatile a subject upon which to report rumors.


No problem. Not offended at all. I just thought it would have been better to put it in complete context. From the thread title I expected some juicy information. If it was just a rumor from a friend who only works in marketing and hasn't been reliable in the past just point that out.

I think if it is true it likely changed as it got around. A 6 year deal for that amount seems much more likely to me.

Thanks for sharing and hopefully a deal is announced soon. I'm mostly concerned with the appeals and player suspensions at present.

Your point was made three posts ago. Why are you still going on about this?

Very possible. Rumors certainly have a tendency to do that, but if those numbers are about right, it could still be broken down any number of ways. Like someone said the numbers don't really add up completely. 1.25 mil in cap space left to go with the about 16 mil already quoted for in the franchise tag. Maybe they are waiting for suspensions and more cap space to open up, or the deal could be structured to fit in this year and pay him much more next year.(I hope we don't have any big name FA's coming up next year) Either way we are all hopeful. Mostly i guess we just expected different things from the OP. To him, I was not offended. WHO DAT!!
