If you are looking at OTC, they typically don’t change anything until they have all the details. That is why they are not indicating Lawson to us. They probably don’t know all the details. Yeah... Website is not always up to speed of real business. Saints had successfully done to ensure the cap compliance after Armstead restructure yesterday.

KimuraGod Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 We were 2-14 last year. A laughing stock around the league. Was always going to be tough signing free agents without overpaying stupidly. I’d of hoped the mantra around players wanting to play for Saleh would of helped but maybe actions speak louder than words and we need to show improvement before we can start enticing better players to sign for us in FA. With that being said I’m interested to know the plan JD has moving forward in regards to the qb position. If the FA route in general is something JD doesn’t like then trading down from #2 and gathering lots of picks seems to be the best option. Would of preferred drafting Wilson but would he be in a position to succeed? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 JD should make a call about Ertz, would be the perfect fit at TE and can Be the security blanket for a rookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Still some players out there that can help us. Not difference makers. But guys to fill holes. Just by the pure lack of signings so far though. We need too much in the draft. But some of those holes will be filled in the coming days still. Nothing ground breaking. But some just “ehhhhhhhh” signings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By year three and four if he’s hit on his draft picks we should have a good team. This is his third year but only 2nd draft so we have to give him time. I really don’t like this approach as I feel we’ve not done enough but at this point I’m resigned to the fact we are slow building and as a fan I just have to support that. *Same was said for Idzik and Mac though so il not as optimistic as some but JD is his own man and it will either rise with him or stay ****e. Not really much else to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really much else to say! There’s still some moves that can happen. So I’ll hold back judgement. But as I said... it would just be bad business to have the money we did and to go into the draft with lots of holes. We can’t need big time upgrades for example at both OG spots, TE, RB, CB, Edge, LB and WR. We won’t be getting starters with every pick we draft. I know we’re not a 1 offseason fix. But with they money in FA we have and picks. A lot could get done. And through the 1st 3 days plus. We have 2 players that are upgrades. But as I said I’ll hold back judgement until more signings are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if a guy doesn’t sign here like what more can they do? We can complain about draft picks or waiver wire pick ups because we’re in more control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really much else to say! I agree with you, sure looks like Douglas wants to get most of his players thru the draft. The first day of FA he grab four players three of the four were good players the one I am not crazy about is Jarrad Davis, he was bench by Detroit for poor play last year. And nothing the last three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot could get done but I’d be surprised if the issues were addressed now. Just seems against what we’ve seen already and I’m okay with that as this is clearly the JD plan. Time will tell.

I can think of 1 or 2 coaches across all sports who have won with little talent. Saleh is not close to that level I’m talking about. He’s a first time HC for gods sake.

I’m more than outspoken on the fact I felt we had a really poor offseason last year and so far I’m not liking it much this year either. However I don’t think JD is sat off somewhere having a beer and not trying to get better. I’m sure he is. But time will tell like I keep on saying. But it goes both ways... There were people on here saying the same with Idzik and Mac. That’s facts. Others were saying Gase was a good hire and was still riding with him after the joke of last season.

But because we aren’t shelling out $40m on a qb why not get an elite o-line and several proven playmakers. By the time their contracts are up and we have to pay the rookie you’ve built a foundation through the draft. Also relying on rookies and 2nd year players may be too much of a burden I feel.

I mean its a results business. If we got 10-6 instead of 2-14 then no one has issue with his offseason and so on and so forth. I don't think there's a clear answer right now out there, its going to take a combination of things to turn this around. What we do know is he added an EDGE, WR and top Special Teams ace and a solid Linebacker and brought back two guys who we can use as depth pieces. When I look around the league there isn't a team that I think is currently blowing anyone out the water right now. The market is very stagnant, teams seems to be locked on offers and some players seem to want more than what's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
