PJ Williams re-signed (1 Viewer)

I don’t like PJ at CB. But I love him at FS.

I agree he does get burned more than you would like but he is good in a pinch.

He gets burned when he’s playing slot CB. But he was made to play center field. He’s got a great nose for the ball and he’s a hair faster than Marcus Williams. I think this was our best option at that position.

This guy is a Saints lifer. Has he been a superstar? No. Has he made errors at times? Sure. But he's turned into a very solid third round pick for us I feel, and is loyal.

There was a moment last season where this guy got hurt, and I could see the pain in his face when he was not able to return to the game and he was literally crying, and I realized right then and there why they keep this guy around. He's a solid pro, with heart.

Excellent.

I agree I really like PJ always around the ball and he can lay the wood . I was hoping he would have been signed for a two year deal but I am happy to have him on a year by year contract for sure.

Totally agree. He is much better at safety rather then in the slot. Plus is a good tackler. May not have the range as Williams but he will hit you.

I don’t think this is related to Mathieu.

What I do think is that Mathieu is waiting for an offer that may be way over what the saints want to spend.

I have always loved Mathieu as a player, but I have no doubt he is waiting on the deal he wants, not the team he wants.
He has never been one to leave money on the table, and entering his age 30 season, this offseason is likely his last big multi-year deal.

 

[BIGRON]

Well, it took long enough. Good to have PJ back with us.

 

[MV2]

Man there must not be a market for him. I don't think I've ever seen a player sign so many 1 year deals with the same team.

Love this more than Sorenson, but PJ can’t cover TE’s like Jenkins did for the Saints. I hope DA has an answer for that when the season comes around.

I'm presently watching my recording of Week 18 vs the Falcons, and MJ was making big plays!

I sure wish he'd come back for one more year!

The starting FS spot for next season is PJ Williams’ to lose. I honestly don’t think the Saints address this spot again unless it’s a draft pick 3rd round or later… Marcus Maye plays SS…

I’m fine with this… I honestly believe that PJ has earned his shot to be a starting FS.

..should the Saints challenge him? …absolutely, but PJ could be very solid.

J.T. Gray is a dark horse for FS that shouldn’t be ruled out! He’s at least solid vet depth already in place.

 

[Nolan]

This was an important signing.

I don’t like PJ at CB. But I love him at FS.

He's a nickel dime corner, I think FS is still a position that will be addressed in the draft. I think the way the defense works and I'm sure PJ can play some over the top coverage but him and CGJ playing closer to the line of scrimmage is what works.

There is going to be some hiccups in the secondary this year because it appears we may have some players playing different roles since losing Williams and Jenkins.

Very happy PJ is coming back, and I too hope Kwon is next.

Glad he's back. I was getting worried Sorenson was going to see the field.

Bring back Kwon since he's still wearing Saints gear while working out and then actually get WR's.

Kwon is only coming back if there’s absolutely no market for him at all, and he returns to the Saints as Pete Werner’s backup and sub-package LB only… and on a vet minimum deal.

I think this is close to what will happen. If there was a market for Kwon, he would be gone. He'll be back on a one year deal, just over the vet minimum.
