Carl Nicks is expected to leave NO through FA

[carolinarolls]

So if you were Colston you would take a huge pay cut and only be the #3 option on the team? I think the whole playing for Brees thing is overrated for WRs because he spreads the ball out so much. I'm sure Colston wants to be 'the man' and be paid like it. Not have less targets than a TE and scat RB.

I don't give a sh-t what the players do or think. I just think I am pretty sure I would tag the guard and let the playmakers weigh the situations of their new options and let that go into the negotiations.

If I were Colston ....

If I were Brees

Dude, you just said that.....but ok

[carolinarolls]

I see where I am confusing you. To clarify I was simply saying what I would think if I were them and then determining who has the biggest reason to want to stick around and leave those players up to negotiations and tag the one that had the easiest move.

So I did say "If I were" but that was more from a perspective of the man making the decision and not the players themselves.

Sorry about that.

Gotcha

lol why are people so obsessed with putting smitty in the slot

[carolinarolls]

Not sure what Colston has without Brees (best ball out there) and without a dome.

I am sure he has confidence but they are not gonna pay him what he might want if like you said, he is getting the third most targets. So NO holds the cards on him I think.

I don't think Brees dares to play outside and on grass and without 5-6 proven targets. He is old and pretty much a family fixture in the city. He's not going anywhere. NO took a huge chance on him once and it has worked out well for both parties.

That guard will get snatched up before offers even come in on the other two IMO.

As of right now all we can do is dream. Because unless Hurney restructures some contracts and and give the team a load cash to spend this offseason. Don't expect to see either of those guys here. We spent most of our money on Johnson, TD, Dwill, Benson, and Anderson this past offseason. We got to have the cap to fill the holes we have on D right now. Offense can use a few upgrades. But breaking the bank on one guy is not wise when we have some holes to fill this offseason. Don't see it happening.

Word i would reconstruct Davis contract to the league minimum.

Edwards at DT, have an injury clause in there somewhere incase he drops out again.

and honestly alot of the problem is spending too much on charles johnson.

Don't get me wrong he is a great player but that is too much.

Brees will end up getting one of the largest contracts ever. Manning and Brady type money. I don't know their cap situation, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose both Nicks and Colston. Neither are coming here, but I'd kill for Nicks. 3 Pro Bowl guys on the line, and maybe 10 or so games of Otah? Yes please.

[Piracy 23]

I'd be ecstatic with either one, especially Nicks but I would be very happy if either left or both.

[doghead28]

would like Nicks but not going to happen.We have too many glaring needs on Defense.

But we are talking who they will keep. If they franchise Nicks, he can't go anywhere.

I'll pass on Colston, we already have two good te's
