Rumor- "samuel Said To Be A "done Deal""

Well, if this is true, the people who think the FO is sitting on their hands all the time will definitely have to lighten up the criticism. The Saints will probably still draft a CB because of MM's injury so late in the season. A first day pick for a DB will improve the team immensely. Face it, if the Saints had been better against the pass this past season, they would have won at least three more games, possibly four. I know that's "woulda, coulda, shoulda" thinking, but that's how the team must be evaluated. They made QB's who wouldn't be a starter on the worst QB-situation teams look like golden boys.

And many will complain, both here and in the media, that the Saints overspent, but that's the going price for a top CB these days, and while he did get burned a few times against the Giants, and a few other teams in the closing weeks, he is still one of the best in the league, and is at his best when he plays man-to-man, according to reports referenced already in this thread.
