They don’t need him, they don’t want him!

They need defensive pass rushers —–>. (period)

Like Flo said, rarely do the offseason champs turn into post season champs.

Eagles anyone?

Knowledgeable Saints fans are not worried. We have a very good GM and a damn good head coach. IMO the only thing we really worry about is our new DC, but even he should be able to make us better than what we had last season.

So what, me worry?

Compared to this time last season things I’m sure are much better in Who Dat Land now no matter what happens in FA. Their offense alone under those 2 will get them at least 10 wins.

They have their very good head coach back now and a elite QB under contract. Everything will just be fine in Who Dat Land I’m sure.

Rumor has it they’re going to trade for one of the Browns’ D Tackles. Ahtyba Rubin would be my guess. And I’d hate to see him go.

Just rumors…[/quote]

Just wondering where you heard this rumor, as I’ve heard a rumor the Saints might possibly have something in the works to trade Roman Harper and am wondering if it may be related??

We lost Daniels a backup and Bushrod. He’s not the first or last lineman we will lose. Next man up as its been. Stop trying to make something out of nothing.

To others: the Saints were big players in free agency in years past, particularly in ’11 when they went all out to make a serious run at the SB. I don’t fault them for that – there were one defensive stop away from hosting the NFC championship. But guaranteed money and “dead money” is forcing their cap dollars up. The Drew Brees contract – he was worth every penny and even if he had signed the initial offer (90 mil), do you seriously think that would solve the Saints problems (2-mil per year over the 5 years)? Nope.

They need to get the cap situation under control so they can make another run in 2014 or 15. Next year they need a bucket-full of money to re-sign Jimmy Graham. I think they will try to address gaps this year with the draft, though they only have 5 picks (thanks again Goodell).

Wes Welker? They don’t have the money and don’t need him (they are already a top 5 offense, why would they spend what little cap money they have on offense?).

They are a top offense in the league without signing WRs needlessly. If you’re going to suggest free agent signings, why don’t we start at left tackle and see where that takes us.

The only offensive position(s) that they need to upgrade would be the o-line. Otherwise, focus on D.

Wes Welker is about #30 on a list of what the saints need.

This is what happens when you’re forced to give out $100 million contracts. Ravens fans take notice, because this is what’s going to happen starting now (bye bye Boldin, Ellerbe, Kruger and probably Reed)

Stay patient and pick up a free agent bargain or two. No one is better at finding O linemen in the later rounds than Payton and Loomis. (not to mention RBs) O will be fine. The real concern is on the D side. I like going to a 3-4 just hope it doesn’t take 3 years to coalesce.

I know they don’t have a lot of cap space and need help defensively, but I think he fits there perfectly (super accurate QB, wide open offense) and I really don’t think anyone is going to break the bank for him.

Just a thought.
