RedGold Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Looks like NO was Mathieu’s preferred and they waited to not calculate into comp pick calculation. Still a great deal cap wise regardless though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATcha Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Great get for the Saints. I was hoping they'd sign him. Now they just need to sign Jarvis Landry and compete the LSU reunion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to rush when the guys already on the line and he’s the one who called You're completely missing the point. First off, money did matter. It pretty much always matters. Mathieu was looking out there for 13-14 million like Williams and Diggs got. I knew it wasn't out there for a safety about to turn 30 and on the decline of his career, but he was looking for it. He still did pretty well for himself being able to get 11 million from the Saints. Not quite what he was looking for, but still pretty good money. I did not want to pay him double digit millions. If he was willing to come in for 9 million or less I would've been okay paying him that, but he wasn't really the type of safety I was looking for in Philly. I was looking for someone who was gonna play more deep in 2 high and even single high when we do run it. That's why I wanted Marcus Williams and was upset when he chose Baltimore when we had supposedly a similar offer on the table. The money did matter not just to Tyrann, but more importantly the Eagles who is the one I was referring to with that post. I'm sure being able to stay home was a big factor for him and I'm happy he got his money and got to stay home. I'll always root for the player to get the bag while they can.

Lol i missed the point, but only because I missed a critical word What I read: surprised #Eagles weren’t the landing spot here with that number. What it said: Not surprised #Eagles weren’t the landing spot here with that number. kind of changes the meaning of the tweet 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guys defense was great last year and I expect the same this year too. I do wonder about Penning protecting Winston's blindside this year, but at least hopefully he'll stay healthier than Armstead these past years.

I took Raimann in my mock GM draft. He’s not a sure thing by any means but i like his fit better. Edited May 3, 2022 by Dome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Penning on the field plays to his testing numbers and there is definitely some stuff you need to clean up with him. Obviously he’s mean and very powerful though. Him being on the Saints kinda gives flashbacks to Kyle Turley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ever rips an opponents helmet off and tosses it into the stands, the 1st round pick is justified. saints fans want chaos above anything else 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when a dude is so good at trash talking that teams have to literally game plan for it and prevent them from doing more meaningful game planning, it's amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
