Jeff Duncan says, Saints are very interested in bidding for Xavien Howard.

The thing about Howard is this isn’t his first time taking to social media to air his grievances about his contract. Who’s to say he doesn’t do that a year or two into his time here?

Indeed. The money has to come from somewhere, and Howard wants guaranteed money past his 30th birthday. I don’t know how smart it is to give a guy who hasn’t been on the team that kind of money after 30, but hey, I’m fine either way (it’s not my money).
We gave Brees a 6 year contract when he was 27 and I'd say that worked out just fine.
