Saints sign former Seahawk safety

One thing I enjoyed about Payton was his standard for “exceptions”. To draft a player that doesn’t fit the “prototype” he has to be exceptional.

Granted this isn’t a drafted player he also said that if you keep bringing in exceptions before you know it you’ll have a roster full of them.

I hope DA doesn’t get away from this philosophy. In FA you can tell he doesn’t put much weight there but if you’re spending money on these players I’d expect them to have upside as well.
