What is he expected to fetch this time?

He should definitely be brought back if his asking price did not surge due to injury.

Tough to say. That injury probably makes it much more manageable. Would an AJ Klein type contract or 3yr/15mill be too much?

he was playing at a caliber worthy of some decent money. Was likely on pace for a 8-9 sack type year.

Good question and honestly don't know. I was thinking 2/8mil since nobody knows how he will return from an Achilles injury.

But he might want more.

There might be a scenario coming with the Saints be able to bring back Okafor next year could possibly hinge on whether or not they first decide to bring back Vaccaro since it was Vaccaro who lobbied for his fellow former UT alum's behalf and convinced the Saints FO to sign him as a FA in the first place? Obviously, I get that loyalty to a teammate is one thing and ultimately getting paid is another, but for these players, I think its not only about how much money a team offers them, but also if they feel they are getting respect from the organization.

Love to see this guy back for the Saints next season...there was a big drop off putting pressure on the QB other than Cam Jordan after Okafor got hurt....here’s hoping he returns for 2018....
