Yes he does get one. Anyone that was on the roster at any point in the season gets one.

Yea he was in the parade.

They showed him when ESPN was interviewing Sharper before the parade.

Yet during the parade you could not wear your jersey if you were not on the 53 that played in the Super Bowl so McKenzie had to hold his uniform in the air. Weird!

The I understand it based on what Jimmy ott read on air, only current roster players on super bowl day plus office personnel get a ring. Anyone else INCLUDING practice squad players and those that left before the super bowl are voted on by the team, if the team says yes then they get one......... But who really knows since I have heard several things. There is a written NFL policy regading this

On NFL radio they said that the NFL pays for the first 100 rings (that number give or take 10) any additional will be paid by the club. Somewhere around 5-10k a piece.

Duece, McKennsie and all of the guys who helped build this team will get a ring. This Saints staff along with Rita is a special group of people. They will take care of anyone who was a face in the organization. That is why you see the beer man on the sidelines at home games in a Saints shirt. He still does PR work for them and he will get a ring as well. So will John Carney. We really have a great group of coaches and players to watch in action.

Incorrect. Only those that are on the active roster are guaranteed one. If the other players get one (Duece, Mike M.) it would be because the Saints organization decided to give them one. They will not get one automatically.

The way MM contributed when they were in a bind.....there is no way he doesn't get one. Not sure why there is even a discussion.

Yeah they will. Real classy move by the Saints. This organization is really doing things right and I think that is one of the main reasons you will see the Saints staying in the top tier of teams challenging for a Superbowl year in and year out.

Why are the Saints buying all of these rings, we need all the money we can get to afford Julius Peppers.

Serious Question: I havent read any rumors about this situation, all I know is that he wants out and a good bit of money, but is this realistic or are you just being sarcastic?

I just can't see the Saints not awarding a ring to Mike McKenzie.

If the team votes to give Deuce a ring I'm ok with that, but the organization shouldn't make that decision

I was being sarcastic

and to answer your question, at this point it's not very realistic.
