re: Saints negotiating w/ Jahri to keep him a Saint

Throwing out an entire interior offensive line like that is something you do in a rebuilding year, because that type of decision is a risk to any quarterback. Any year with Drew Brees under center should be treated like we have a legit chance to win it all.

Agreed. I think they'll keep at least one of Grubbs and Evans. Goodwin most likely won't be returning at the starter, and 3 new starters is too much turnover.

For anyone who watched the Office, the headline of the NOLA article ("Cap-strapped Saints were prepared to release Pro Bowl guard Jahri Evans, now negotiating to keep him, sources say") reminds me of the Halloween episode in season 2 where Michael goes to fire Creed, but Creed convinces Michael to fire Devon instead.

quote:

Michael: I have to fire someone today, okay? Creed: Fine. Fire someone else. Fire Devon. He's terrible. I am so much better at my job than Devon.
