Nick Underhill: Saints Might Not Move on from DA

St. Geezy said

We have always bargain shopped for free agents.

And certainly last year we weren’t limited to bottom of the barrel as we in fact signed the player at the very top of the barrel, dollar value wise.

How does this fact always get ignored? We are so cash strapped yet we somehow signed the highest paid FA available to a mega contract?

I assume you are talking about Chase Young. There were a number of Guards in FA who signed for more money than Chase Young, twice as much in some cases. So for a Rusher who was the No.2 pick in the draft, $10m really was a bargain bin signing and showed what the rest of the league thought of him.

I feel like the Saints are one of those shows where guys hit a Junkyard for parts to build a vehicle from scratch.

eg
14 Mar 2024 — Signings. Guard Robert Hunt, 5-year, $100 million contract. Guard Damien Lewis, 4-year, $53 million contract.
