Jarvis Landry visiting Saints tomorrow

I may be off base, but it seems like we are trying to sure up some spots, but are hoping that certain players would go for the “hometown discount” (Jarvis and Tyrann). Heck, if you nab one at the discount, maybe the other would help recruit the other?

Does the hometown discount really exist anywhere anymore? The only thing close to it I have seen in reality has been the "take less money to play for a contender."

If anyone would take a hometown discount, Tyrann's public campaign to come home would be the ideal place to do it -- and he hasn't, at least yet.

The NFL is a business. The Saints got in the Jarvis and Tyrann conversation only when the players' reported inflated salary demands became obviously too expensive for the free agency market they actually had.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the Saints have opened the door because the price must have gone down into something much closer to the vicinity of what they are willing to pay, and it has nothing to do with the hometown or how they feel about the players changing or the team's strategy changing.
