Of course it's an issue. Don't confuse the fact that we could make room with it being a non issue. Money is most certainly part of this equation.
But, when you factor in what we probably wanted to spend on a vet WR, with the future plans of the organization (Graham long term), Jordan long term, etc. and combine it with the risk that comes along with Jackson you can draw a conclusion.
Personally, I think anything over 4-5M and we pass. It would have to be that significant of a discount off of his true value were there no issues.
Personally, reading between the lines, he's going to get more than that.

I'm not saying it's a non factor. I'm saying money isn't going to be the thing that keeps us from signing him if we really want him.
Perhaps issue was a bit vague. Character is a much bigger factor with him. If we felt the value was right and the characters issues are overblown we would make room.

I just don't think you can separate the two...nor can you separate the big picture plans we have with our money.
Unless he's going for a bargain, I don't think we consider him...even with his talent. Having said that, if his value were somehow so low that he's in the 4-5M range, I think we go after him...even with the character risk.

You're only arguing this because of your name

Desean Jackson to Pelicans. Book it.
I see what you did there. Can he play the 2? Or will he be coming off the bench?

I agree with that (in fact I explicitly agreed with it above)...but I think it's off point.
The real question is whether or not the Saints are interested. IMO, the Saints aren't interested unless they were getting Jackson at somewhere around 4-5M / yr. If I'm right, the reports that were aren't in the running are probably very accurate.

Trade up a few slots and draft OBJ.
Same player without the gang headaches.

monty doesn't know how to use him. he'll play 20 minutes, 10-15 less per game than brian roberts.

Good....thug POS anyway

If he's a thug then there are a lot of thugs in the league man I swear.

He has gang ties......that would put you in a thug category.
Don't want to be perceived as a thug......be careful of the company you keep.
And to answer your statement.......there are a lot of thugs in the league today; this is due to the premium being placed on athleticism instead of intangibles

Yea I was gonna say many athletes have gang ties, his just are now in the public.

He should have been born in a different neighborhood. Remind him to do that next time.

Are you saying it's ok if he has gang ties because of the neighborhood where he was born?

That really depends what "gang ties" are.
I used to drink with people who are definitely not what you'd consider model citizens.
Does that make me a thug?
