Sportingnews Team Reports (Saints)
The Saints need to pay Marques Colston, Jahri Evans and Will Smith they are the young nucleus of home grown talent that make this team.
The Saints have the cap room to pay these guys what they deserve.
Colston 6 years 42 million/ 18 guaranteed
Evans 6 Years 30 million/ 15 guaranteed
Smith 5 years 40 million/ 20 guaranteed
Reggie Wayne got 6 years, 40 million with 13.5 million gauranteed
Kevin Curtis got 6 years, 32 million with 10 million guaranteed
Eric Stienbach signed a 7 year deal for 49.5 million with 17 million gauranteed
Derrick Dockery signed a 7 year deal for 49 million with 18.5 million gauranteed
Leonard Davis signed a 7 year deal for 49.6 million with 16 million gauranteed
Dwight Freeney got 6 years, 72 million, with 30 million gauranteed
Charles Grant got 7 years, 63 million, with 20 million guaranteed
Patrick Kerney got 6 years, 39.5 million with 19.5 gauranteed
Don't think Colston gets quite that. I would say something most likely in between the Wayne and Curtis deal (6 years, 36 million with 12 gauranteed).
The price of OG's went way up this past offseason. Expect Evans to get 40+ million and 15+ million gauranteed.
Don't expect Will Smith to sign for a penny less than what Grant got.
