re: tOfficial Saints Talk NFL Free Agency 2023 Thread

Cam Jordan just tweeted that we are going to sign a "prolific DT". We good baws, chill

No no it doesn't exist, but when we don't re-sign players the meme is: we don't overpay players.

You take this way too personal. Nobody was questioning SFP’s knowledge of the cap and your expertise of handling NFL personnel and money, they’re just tired of your pretentious attitude and the fact that you think you’re the gospel on pretty much everything.

One day I hope you come to grips with the fact that you think you know it all. I know that’s probably gonna sting a little bit, and the wheels are already spinning in your head about how you can deflect this or shoot something right back at me, but it’s the truth. You’re one of the biggest egotistical pricks on TD and everyone else is starting to catch on to it.

Might be time to step back and do a little self-evaluation on your attitude and how you carry yourself. Are you this way in real life, or just the internet?

The defensive line is a freaking issue man.

It was an issue last year when we had Onyemata and Tuttle. Terrible run defense and no push rush from the DT position. We’re in a bad position there, no doubt, but the answer was not to overpay 2 guys who gave you little production last year who will just be another year older. Not sure what the plan is, but I’m ok with it not being re-signing Onyemata and Shuttle to the deals they wound up getting.

Falcons signed saftey Jessie Bates from the Bengals.

reminds of when the Saints signed Jarius Byrd. You get a good player but to me you need to pay up for the guys getting after the QB first.

Falcons don't have that.

a "prolific DT".

only "prolific" DT i see, still available, is Fletcher Cox... but highly doubt that's who Cam is talking about...

gotta be either Tomlinson, Rankins, or Brockers, with Rankins, being a former player who Cam may still talk to and have the inside track with, having the most obvious connection

As expected, Saints aren't really involved and I don't expect them to be until there are bargains to be had.

The hope, then the panic, then the reality check. Been like this at the start of FA around here for years now.

So, what do you think they'll do to retool the defense?? I read something on saints wire where they said peat needs to take a pay cut. I wish they would just cut his fat arse period.

I'd probably get downvoted on this, but I would have rather they sign garropolo for what the raiders signed him for.

yal would never stop bitching about injury prone players if JG was signed...

This is a year to trace back and get some extra picks to rebuild the depth

11 DTs in Dane Brugler top 100
14 DEs
7 LBs

Detroit could very well trade up and take 3 1st rounders:
29 = 640 points
71 = 235 points
= 875 points
- They'd end up with 3 1st round picks (6, 18, and 29); next pick would be 3rd round 71st overall

for
48 = 420 points
55 = 350 points
81 = 185 points
= 955 points

We parlay'd 1st + 3rd into
2 2nds and a 3rd

I’m down for a Rankins reunion + Shelby Harris
