LB Willie Gay to the Saints on 1-year deal (Merged) (1 Viewer)

[RJS]

I'm a big fan of this signing but I thought this comment from his draft profile was pretty funny:

"—The football-playing version of when Scooby Doo tries to run; too many steps, no beneficial movement."

So far everyone thinks it’s great value.

I'm just here for the Gay jokes

He's a weak side backer, is he a special teams addition with Werner already cemented on the weakside?

Wait, I thought you hated the saints. I'm so confused.

 

[Goatman Saint]

I love things like this. Young ascending player from a winning organization

Wait, I thought you hated the saints. I'm so confused.

No way, you must have me confused with whoever decided to keep Dennis Allen around. I root for success, whoever made that call certainly hates the Saints.

I also get confused as the person who hates the Pels, when in actuality the person who hates the Pels is the person that decided to roll with Willie Green.

At this price, he'll get a higher offer and sign somewhere else. He's got until tomorrow at 3pm, I think. Don't count them chickens.

He’s from the area and went to school at Miss. State. What are the odds that playing for the Saints was part of his long game.

Also, he was great in the playoffs this past season. If you get a chance to, watch how he neutered the competition in his spy role.

Also, there’s this.

Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. kicked Stefon Diggs while he was down by sharing a brutal old Instagram photo

Whew. This is cold-blooded.

Oh good. Mobile QBs ate us alive last year, so this signing was legit a great signing.

What do we "need"

Dline depth, Oline Depth?

After a bit more research, he came into the league with some of the same +'s and -'s Davis had.

Both looked more like WLB than MLB's with Davis eventually growing into a MLB but started his career out as a run and chase backler. Both came out with very good speed and athleticism for their position, both weren't great at reading plays.

Gay his very thicky built and has the requisite size to one day play the MLB role but would be good to groom in this defense just to see if he can grow.

I really like the move and DA has a good track record of getting production out of FA LB's in his scheme.

I always like to read what the fans of the teams we sign guys from say once we have them. This has been the theme…

Add this to the collection. From a diehard chiefs fan I work with.

Well I am Cuban, so should I be the Soviets?
