Saints sign Anthony Spencer

[gettlemanjack]

1. Will be interesting to see how much Saints paid. Cowboys wanted to re-sign him and Seahawks wanted him

2. Wonder if this alters the Saints draft plans at all

Spencer just turned 31 in Jan 2015. For his whole career until 2013, he was a very good strongside OLB opposite DeMarcus Ware in the 3-4 defense. As a DE in the 4-3 last year, he recorded 27 combined pressures across 457 defensive snaps.

Anthony Spencer was ranked 21st (out of 59) 4-3 DEs by PFF in 2014 with a +2.1 grade.

Hope #Cowboys bring back Anthony Spencer (at the right

price). 4 QB hits, 11 QB hurries, 1 sack, 1 FF & 1 FR for a TD in

final 4 gms of 2014

But going back to a 3-4 team is better for him. The last time he played for Rob Ryan in a 3-4 (in 2012) he had 11 sacks and was a Pro Bowler

If we sign Anthony Spencer we'll draft a WR at 13

he aint no Kony

31 years old and often-injured, he wants a chance to start, and wasn't going to get it with Hardy now in Dallas. Spencer will move to OLB in New Orleans. It should be noted when he had his Pro Bowl year in 2012 under Rob Ryan in a 3-4, DeMarcus Ware attracted most of the attention away from Spencer. Cameron Jordan and Junior Gallette will not be drawing attention away from Spencer.

How can they afford to sign anyone at all?

[Rags]

Eh.

 

Everyone will be sucking the Saints off like they signed a key peiece, Saints fans will act like we did when we signed Decoud  and Harper in the off season last year of signing a former pro bowler, when really this is just a solid veteran signing that alters te team but won't change the coer needs.

 

 

But lol @ the saints drafting WR at 13. Okay.

10 days ago, G Jahri Evans signed a 3 year re-structured extension to lower his cap number this year by $4 million. There are no more easy fixes for the Saints this year from converting roster bonuses or base salaries into signing bonuses. They will now have to add years and money to existing contracts, and I doubt many more Saint players will agree to sign extensions until they know if Breesus will be back after his contract expires in March 2017.

Saints are trying to keep warm by pissing their pants. Yes the might get the warm right now but the piss wet pants will get even colder in time

Never heard of him

Low risk potentially high reward type signing

[pantherphan96]

Saints have to be racking up some serious dead money in the cap space with all these restructured contracts.
