re: Saints drafted other players over these LSU players

Yeah well, they did. No one is denying that.

That was an official deal. The Collins thing (which didn't exist anyway) was never put on paper or email.

So you're saying it was OK to sign him as UDFA, but not actually draft him?

Don't yall ever get tire of making excuses for Loomis/Payton?

It is documented fact that Collins' agents told EVERY TEAM (including the Cowboys) after the first round was over that if they took him, they wouldn't sign and he would petition to go back into next year's draft. They didn't want him to be drafted because if he signed as an UDFA, he would get late 1st/early 2nd round money--which is exactly what happened.

It's laughable that some of you think that Loomis and Payton automatically take players off the board because they went to LSU.
