We could have franchised tagged Nicks.


And had an enormous amount of salary tied up in your guards. Not to mention it would be likely that you wouldn't be able to sign Colston or Lofton, because we were paying Brees regardless.

I didn't realize Porter signed with Denver for so little. Big frick up by the FO.


I think the thinking was that he was going to get offered more. Not to mention that we have Greer, Robinson and Patrick and Porter was injured a lot so it wasn't good to have four guys getting big money for two/three spots. (not saying it's right, but just saying that it was a calculated decision.)

It would definitely have been a pick between Nicks and Colston. They would've had to talk Colston into signing for less. Who knows if it would have happened.

Our running game is crap though, and Colston was decent yesterday, but pretty insignificant as far as the rest of the season.
