Packers Tag DT Corey Williams (1 Viewer)

pray for briggs....

Are you saying we should pray that he doesn't get a double hernia lifting the huge sacks of cash he's going to get from somebody stupid like the Niners?

I can't believe with the DT depth that they have that they would do that. Not to mention that it completly screws up our offseason strategy.

LOL... wow... thats not exactly what I meant but that is pretty funny

Well, that voids about 90% of the offseason predictions on this board.

Looks like we'll have to draft our studs.

Man that's bad, he was the primary target on this board, and your right...these rookies are gonna have to contribute next year we have to be real specific when we pick these guys, because they all are gonna have to have some type of role...I will say this, I'm a fan of building through the draft and I'd much rather of been a 7-9 team with our main contributors being 25yr old or younger on the team, then a 7-9 team with are main contributors pushing 30 or higher, when your young you always know your gonna get better and have room to improve, when your old u know you may of missed your window.


we can't draft and go through free agency picking players like were reloading, we gotta draft with the intent to add players who will help your franchise team continue a steady or rapid incline until you've reached the level of a NFL Champion, we draft to stay competitive, and we got lucky with a few signings and draft picks to draw attention to the franchise, but that's about it, we think we've arrived...we never really draft to compliment those draft picks do we? We never tried to team ricky with a franchise QB (like normal teams) followed by a WR for the Franchise QB, we always sign stop gaps and dress them up as "potentials to get better" but they never do, they always "almost" so potential enough for the front office to keep selling us fans wolf tickets.


You don't have to he the Dallas Cowboys to be committed to winning, any team can be...why does our front office always settle for consistently mediocre?

I know its early in the Sean Payton Era, but I want to see commitment from him, I want to see his stamp on this Franchise, will he be the type of guy who gets infected by this Franchise and there mediocre ways like Haslett?

Is he the Coach that gives us a championship? Its gotta happen for us sometime, when is it our turn?.....sorry I got real emotional there

We arent the saints front office DO you know there strategy cuz i sure dont why dont you tell us all

Just a thought, but I wonder if the Packers using the tag on Williams was a sign that we were going to target him. If we were going to target Williams, I am sure that Russ Ball shared this with his new employer. Just a though for you conspiracy theory lovers out there.

I'm sure a lot of teams were targetting him and I'm sure they didn't need Ball to tell them that.

So this means it would take two 1st rounders to get him? Horrible.

Unless they do a sign and trade with us...which is highly unlikely.

Trufant and Corey Williams, our 2 main FA targets, gone...

i think that's what GB is doing. tag williams and get some kind of value for him in a sign and trade much like the patriots did with tebucky jones back in 03'. the difference is dt holds much more of a cap number than safety so if teams hold strong they may lift the tag.

Last night must go down as one of the worst moments in this free agency period. I'm not sure what'll happen in the draft but I sure don't have near the expectations that had thinking that a few top notch FA's would help solidify this defense. Unless they do pull off some thing big I just don't see this defense taking a serious step up in the rankings.

I agree, but it isn't far fetched that coach and Loomis were looking at these guys too. Do you think that they have a FA plan B for these positions, or do you think that they are waiting to see what the cuts are going to be. Or do you think that they are targeting other players at CB and DT? If so, who do you think they are targeting?

 

[meily]

I think if Loomis and Payton were looking at them, I think we would of heard about it....you hear when every other team is looking at a certain player, just like you heard the Saints were looking at ZT when he got cut, if we were being active...somebody would of reported it...somewhere....NOLA Sports don't even have a clue and there the local paper, its all the same news, Charles grant and his stabbed neck, Reggie bush and his lawsuit and the saints playing in London, thats the only news so far this off season....that aside from the ZT courting.

ZT is different because his FA period had started.

That FA period that would see us getting Williams, Trufant, etc. hasn't started yet. GM's don't tip their hand on who they want before it is time.

you missed the whole point....FA doesnt have to start in order for "speculation" to...reporters dont always report fact, they report rumor to....the Saints have never been big players in free agency though, so that really kinda just proves my point even more...cause the teams that are big player or active...always have there name attached to some type of "speculation".
