Teron Armstead (Saints LT) gets 64.5 Mill for his 5 year extension, 38 Mill injury guarantee


Recommended Posts

Seems like we've been talking about the taints falling of a massive salary cap cliff for a few years, meanwhile they keep signing players and extensions? I'm no cap expert but I would really like to see this crash and burn finally take place. The anticipation is killing me.

Remember how many years we got away with it. It really takes a while to really fug your self.

This is what I am most anticipating. Have they even attempted to field his replacement? I have to admit, with the way they have been free falling I mostly quit paying attention to them and their team building (or lack of team building)

Good point. I guess I just want the instant gratification of watching them finally not be named the NFCS Super Bowl winners of March, and listed as the bottom dwellers of the division. It does seem like the saint's nut hugging is laying off a bit, but I also avoid major sports media outlets unless someone links an article from here.

Like I said, the anticipation is killing me lol.

    • Small handful? There are dozens of QBs that started their rookie years and your examples are a bit of a stretch as proof: Brady - 6th rounders don’t usually even make a team yet he became the starter year 2. Mahomes - like Rodgers, he was drafted into a team with a playoff QB already entrenched and Bradshaw - Started 8 games his rookie year. Montana - like Brady, 3rd rounders QBs are absolutely not expected to start their rookie year and most times they don’t ever become starters. He became the starter year 2. Staubach - this is a silly example. He was a 10th rounders pick because he spent 5 years in the military after Navy. He didn’t play football for 5 years and he’s an example of a QB not starting as a rookie? Here’s a bunch of examples of successful QBs that were rookie starters since Cam and some old ones I remember: Elway, Marino, Aikman, the entire Manning family, Newton, Stroud, Lamar, Wentz, Goff, Mayfield, Allen, Stafford, Lawrence, Mac Jones (jk), Watson (before happy endings), Tannehill, Luck, Burrow, Herbert and Tua. There’s even less than successful QBs who were rookie starters like Murray, Trubisky, Jones, Winston, Mariota, Bortles, RG3 and maybe Bryce. Heck, Winston and RG3 went to the pro bowl his rookie year.
    • Agree, Houston's oline isn't/wasn't good. I just think Carolina's was a crap show. And Houston's scheme and weapons definitely helped mitigate their bad play. Guards and tackles both getting beat at the snap on the same play in Carolina. Bryce was definitely shell shocked, and rightfully so as a rookie. The FO had to fix that. It wasn't sustainable for any QB long term. CJ is getting a taste of it now due to injuries at the reciever position. But even with Diggs and Dell out, his weapons are still better than Carolina's. CJ will adjust. He's too good not to. But the FO should be a little more intentional with improving the oline. They have an embarrassment of riches at the receiver position. Guys they could sacrifice to improve the oline.
    • Say what you want, but my eyes tell me that Bryce is playing better than CJ and Caleb right now. Bryce is making decisive decisions, whereas CJ is missing reads and throws that he was easily making last season. This might be due to the pressure, but realistically, no one is going to care.
