How FA's Decide Where To Go (and why it's not NOLA's fault they don't all come here)

Significantly more money and a higher signing bonus, actually.

What does that prove other than the worse you are as a team, the more you have to overpay? Why on earth would anyone want us to overpay now when we have so much of our own guys to extend.

Interestingly, the guy who replaced Edge has been the better player, is this an endorsement for the "Build through the draft" movement?

So we're reduced to "Let's draft and pray?" Quite frankly this team can't do what the Colts do. I didn't believe this until now, but all scouts aren't created equal. Neither are GMs. We don't have Bill Polian. Loomis isn't a football guy, and that hurts the Saints as a whole. It means that the coach has to be a talent evaluator. That's not the coaches' job, and it doesn't usually work out.
