Dumb statement. We had second highest payroll this year. Thinks will be [picking up. Remember we need money to sign Jahri and some of the others. be patient.

Saints can't make a big splash in this year's free agent market due to restrictions and the number of key players they are in contract negotiations with.

This- plus, we are not looking to replace the engine, just give it a little tune-up. As someone already, mentioned, if the Bensons' were having a fire sale, Reggie would have already been gone- I don't think Benson is a 'one & done' type...they like the attention...

Benson is a douche. Remember this is the guy who wants and if he could would move the team to anywhere. He fired the guy who set up the games in tiger stadium for doing that. He is cheap and whoever said grant was our best D player doesn't actually watch games. Hes gonna let Sharper walk when lets be honest, We aren't playing in the superbowl without him. He is paying Reggie for part time work at best. I like Reggie but not at 8 mil. Soon we will see ticket prices sky rocket I am sure. I just hope Rita isn't a spitting image of him.

Benson has always spent money on the team. People mislabel him with the cheap tag too often. I mean like someone said, he might not spend the money the right way but he allows his football people to spend the money they need.

We both know though that they haven't always spent it wisely.

Tom Benson is not calling the shots...Rita Benson Leblanc is the one that is pretty much in charge of the operation. And Mickey Loomis is managing the money and following the restrictive rules. Calm down.

I've had my issues with Benson and the Saints FO in the past. That said, considering how they've performed these last couple of years, I'm willing to just sit back and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Throwing loads of $$$ around doesn't guarantee a SB. Ask the Redskins about that.

maybe so, but he has actually done more good for New Orleans than most major public figures

for doing what? The games in Tiger Stadium were a huge fail. What exactly did he get fired for, what is "that"?

quote:

He is cheap


not when it comes to spending money on players

it was obviously sarcasm that a 12 year old could sense

quote:

no, we're going to get sharper for market value. Why should we pay him money when he can't even pass a physical right now? All indications show that he will be a Saint

quote:

We aren't playing in the superbowl without him.


no shite, but that doesn't mean you throw stupid money at him that would hurt us in future years

quote:

He is paying Reggie for part time work at best.


but i thought he was cheap

quote:

I like Reggie but not at 8 mil.


once again, why are we keeping him if he's too expensive?

quote:

Soon we will see ticket prices sky rocket I am sure.


we've had a 30,000 person waiting list since 2006. The prices for tickets came out this week, and following a Super Bowl we still have the CHEAPEST TICKETS IN THE NFL.

They probably should have sky rocketed due to the demand, especially since all he cares about is money

Yeah, yeah, I sign the paychecks of a lot of you geniuses. Grow up. I'll see how the next few months play out and see what happens. The Bensons are not exactly easy to read.
