Because the Saints are poor and can't afford to overpay players who will result in bust

It is to be expected. We will not get involved until all the first wave guys have been overpaid.

You dont want to get involved in this batch. Sanu was getting offers of 7 million per year from the Falcons.

People bitch when they spend and they bitch when they dont. They are doing the right thing and re-signing our own.

New England doesn't go for big splashes either. That tier 2 and 3 bargain bin is where we should be

This is why. Taken from Triplett's article today, quotes are from January I believe.

"You've got to be pretty cautious when you're going out and signing the really top, high-end expensive free agents. You've got to be cautious," Loomis said. "I think we've been cautious for the most part and yet some of them have worked out, some haven't. I don't know that that philosophy is really going to change."

"There's a lot of risk [with the top guys]," Payton said. "Because you go back every year, and you [ask], 'If those teams, us included, whoever was involved, had it to do over again, would they or wouldn't they sign that potential player?' And oftentimes that percentage is not near where you'd expect it to be.

"I think after that first week and things calm down, oftentimes there is an opportunity to sign someone who has more value. ... Just in general, the percentages and the numbers suggest that."

Because greedy Benson keeps all of his car dealership money for himself. He won't even give any to his kids much less to our cap space.

Thats why the Cowboys and Broncos are always able to land big time free agents. Jerry Jones and Elway both put their own money back into the cap space. Benson refuses to do so.
