Anyone whose opinion changed following yesterday’s game is having an emotional response.

Demario & Cam have slowed down a bit, but still produce.
Demario is still a 3 down LB, probably only a handful or so better, problem is just when will he fully hit the wall & having a contract to match.
Cam is also still proving to be a savvy veteran, even before the 1.5 sack game yesterday. He’s still good against the run & a good spell/situational pass rusher. Similar to Demario he is worth bringing back depending at the right price.

Taysom has been off all year, usually throwing our rhythm out of whack. Glad he got his 3x1000 yard club, truly has been fun watching him over the years, but it’s time to let him ride off. I don’t foresee a contract materializing that would justify his current production

DD only unless Cam wants vet minimum. Otherwise move on. Would love for Kamara to be done as well, that extension was ridiculous.

Cam and Demario yes. Taysom is one of my favorite saints players of all time but I really don’t see where it’s beneficial for him or the team to return. He should be a lock for Saints HOF though and deserves the ring of honor as well.

Wrong. 2.3ypc.

We used him as a short yardage back for the past few years and the last 2 years he's been less productive as time goes on. He is very versatile, but use that money to actually pay for a player rather than a gadget one.

While 1 more year may help, yal forget he's also 36. He's an athletic freak, that's how he's become the jack knife of the century, but unless it's for 4-5mil, you're grossly overpaying him for nothing.

Watch the game bro. Quit being a loser. He had a 17 yd run considered a reception yesterday too. If taysom is getting a yard, it’s a blocking issue.

With Taysom, you don't need that 6th receiver or 7th linebacker who is basically just a special teams player. Also, with Taysom you don't need to go get a fullback if you wish to run some of that scheme. The dude can help you build your roster better if he is willing to take a vet deal. Yall are crazy.

think Taysom would be better next year. He was coming off an ACL tear - give him another offseason to recover and I think he regains his explosiveness.


He's a freak so normal rules dont apply to him.

Id say let's see what he has and go from there.

It all depends on value. If the contracts are right then you take them. If it’s too much, you let them walk. Demario I would be fine for a bigger contract front loaded for the first two years. The other ones need to be “friendly” home team deals.

Taysom still has a level that he is on.

But yes. We can’t block for him well bc the defenses know what’s coming.

Thought it was funny that CKM was finally like, frick it and let him throw.

They are completely incompetent if they do not bring these two back.


Taysom no longer has value unfortunately

Between the rant and here, you have the fricking worst takes by far. Are you trolling or are you fricking retarded?

Fix the O Line and taysom’s value is high on a last year deal. I don’t think he wants to be here

If they sign all three of them to reasonable contracts they can defer dead money cap hits.

Hill is barely a year recovered from a torn ACL. I disagree that he’s done. He is almost certainly past his prime, but he is absolutely still very valuable due to his versatility and I think could come back better next year than this one. Does he still have enough juice in 2027? That’s the timeframe I question.
