No if a mistake was made on passing on Davenport, it was the guy GB took. Jaire Alexander. He was the guy I was hoping we would draft. He will be all pro soon enough.


Yep that would have been a great pick. At the time I think they thought they were in good shape with crawley and lattimore. Not knowing that crawley would fall off a cliff the next year

You want to know why? Cause he’s been in the league 4 years. Hasn’t stayed healthy at all and when healthy he didn’t look great. Playing great this year but some of you are acting like he’s been playing like this for years. A lot of players have breakout seasons during a contract year and never reach that ceiling again. So yes, most are “meh” on him. Cause they’ve watched his “meh” play 3 of the last 4 years.

Bunch of idiot right here. If Hendrickson is meh because of all these reasons you stated then Davenport is garbage. More injuries than Hendrickson without the stats.

ETA: By the way "lots" of players don't come in 2nd in the NFL in sacks just because it's a contract season. Stupidity is rampant

Not with Davenport on the up and coming.


I assume you’re being sarcastic. Are we still waiting for this guy to break out?

Neither of you seem to get it. With what money are they going to give him? The Saints will have to get rid of some players and extend guys like Lattimore snd Ram to even get under the cap. But somehow they’re gonna find 10 mill to add him and still fit under the cap? Doubtful. He will be walking
A lot of people just go “la la la la la just find a way to pay him” when it comes to the cap situation. It will suck to lose him but I just don’t see a possible way we can keep him with what he will be asking for and how many players we have to pay. He’s better than Davenport right now but the price difference for next year and considering how Granderson has looked gives us some depth at the position so he’s going to go somewhere that can offer him a huge contract.

On the other hand, someone is going to sign Hendrickson to a big contract next year and I have a hard time believing that he will live up to it


He won't. He has the benefit of playing on one of the best DLines in the NFL. If some team with an average DLine picks him up and asks him for 14 sacks, I don't believe they'll ever see 10.

People have been saying what the Saints can't do due to the salary cap for over a decade now and all Loomis does is keep signing people to contracts.

Don't worry about the cap.

If we're projected 75-100mil over the cap, let's say it's nearly impossible to pay Hendrickson without losing talent

Agree that we shouldn’t franchise him. Disagree that Davenport is up and coming.

Saints will resign him because you can't get a replacement cheaper than what they have to pay him anyway.

Theoretically the replacement is Granderson and draft pick

Henrickson has accomplished what we drafted Davenport to do and that is QB sacks.
He deserves to be paid!

I studied, charted, & graded every edge-rusher sack this season with the final results in one jam-packed article.



Trey Hendrickson is tied for 2nd in edge-rusher sacks with 13, but ranks 13th in sack score because of the nature of the sacks he tallied. Hendrickson had just 3 High Quality sacks with the remaining 10 sacks being a result of excellent coverage, being unblocked, or the QB holding on to the ball for too long.







quote:

Top 5 sacks/snap (< 500 snaps + min. 4 sacks)

Gardeck - 1 sack every 13.3 snaps (93 snaps)
Granderson - 1 sack every 58.2 snaps (291 snaps)
Kerrigan - 1 sack every 66.2 snaps (397 snaps)
V. Curry - 1 sack every 66.3 snaps (265 snaps)
Gregory - 1 sack every 67.5 snaps (270 snaps)

He’s been better than Davenport for 2 years now and I’ve been saying it on here for 2 years

Would trading Jordan be an option? Just putting this out there. He's been a very consistent DE for us, but Davenport and Hendrickson have more years ahead of them than behind them, Cam's the opposite. Why let a player with 10 years left walk out the door when there's one with 4 years left there too.

ETA: Either way a tough decision is going to have to be made, and there are alot of layers to this.

Need to sign him , he was the best defender we had on this years team. Brown and both Jenkins can go to keep Hendrickson and FA or 2.

Not worth it. He’s not even that good. He had a Vic Beasley season
