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

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.

Nope, the fact that we traded for guys like Vilma should have told you otherwise. This team, much like a team like San Antonio Spurs or Oakland Athletics, must spend FA money wisely and hope its ability to compete at a high level offesets the general unattractiveness of the situation here. It's a hard gambit, but I'm not ready to throw out a whole FO after 1 bad year.

To Rainman:

Help me out bro, name the last FA that signed with NO when a comparative contract was offered elsewhere.
