Rumor- "samuel Said To Be A "done Deal"" (2 Viewers)

Previous Next
Signing Samuel does more for us than just improve our defense. It frees up a draft pick.

Now, instead of drafting 1-2 CB's, a MLB, and a DT in rounds 1-4, it allows us to go DT/MLB round 1, the other round 2, CB round 3 or 4, and a free draft pick in round 3 or 4 to get a WR, TE, or another DT.

It opens up alot of possibilities. And, personally, this year's "3rd round WR" crop is delicious. Signing Samuel would allow us the freedom to get one, whereas without Samuel we will be getting MLB/DT.
 
This is from the NOLA forum, so take it with a BIG grain of salt....



"Its close to being done. He was looking for 8 year 80 million like nate Clements. Saints offer is 4 years 38 million. Plus incetives. He has to earn his money. Also looks like Saints are making a sweeet incintive paying contract to WR Bryant from Arizona with Meachem being number 3 WR and trading down to get Keith Rivers or Dan Conner in draft. And yes I was the one who broke it to yall about Super Mario #1 and we get Bush, thanks for calling me stupid but I was right!"

He says that he has a friend who is a lawyer/rep for players in the league.

Please be true. That would work out around 9 million a year. Four years is a lot more attractive than being tied to him for 10 too.

Bryant Johnson's stats: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6353

"Johnson runs great routes, has good hands, and at 6’3” his size makes him an appealing option. He’s caught at least 35 passes in each of his five seasons, including 49 receptions in 2004, and has a touchdown scored in each season, with four coming in ’06." http://www.footballsfuture.com/2008/nfl/freeagentsWR.html

If he would've just left it at Samuel and Bryant Johnson it may have been remotely believable. But the idea that Meachem's depth chart status has already been decided and that the Saints have already definitively decided to trade down for Rivers or Connor is laughable. This guy is just trying to stir the pot. Don't fall for it.
 
I am going to go on record here and say that if all this comes to fruition and the Saints do indeed sign Asante Samuel it will be a mistake IMO. There is no need whatsoever to break the bank and overspend on a CB. All I can hope for is that Loomis & company use their brains on this one and say thanks but no thanks to Samuel. If the Broncos starting CB's & Nate Clements doesn't spell it out nothing will. Samuels to Saints is a very bad idea IMO.

Then go on record and tell us what would be a better solution to our CB situation. It's only fair.

Its been talked about repeatedly what the front seven means to any secondary. Build thru the draft! Its really simple build thru the draft & plug good solid middle tier free agents in where you can and this year that means at CB.

So keep doing what we've always done........? Because it's worked soooooo well. BTW, we broke the bank for one FA we have on our team. He is the best player we have! It's time to get a real playmaker on D. Samuel seems to be the best one out there. With our cap situation, I have no problem paying the man instead of sitting on our hands like years past.
 
On ESPN someone was saying that the top 3 teams for Samuel where the Jets, Browns, Saints. He thought he would be playing for one of those teams. I think I got the other two teams right. I do know Tampa was not mentioned and surprised about the other two.
 
Could someone explain to me why this epic piece of threadery still lacks rating cubes? This thread is right up there with the MM from GB and *bows head, lowers eyes* Walter Thomas threads.

Chi we have plugged in low tier free agents at the wrong spots. You can't go without a real MLB as the Saints have proven for years. You can't have marginal players as starters along the front seven but you can at CB. Thats where that line of thinking is flawed.

its possible, i mean its not like Meachem cant play, its that he hasnt played...you have to go into the season with some type of plan and they have seen more of him than any of us have, most teams go into the season with some type of question mark, and the productivity of Robert Meachem was gonna be the Saints whether he started or not.
