The Saints put of video of him walking into Saints HQ. So he's there. Maybe they get the contract done this weekend or this week. There really isn't any rush with camp so far away. But, it's nice to get them in as early as possible so they don't miss any camp time.

Looking forward to seeing the return of our run game. I can foresee either Alvin or Kendre getting their first career 1K season behind Tali Fuaga. Dude was always my fav OT. I love his power based plays style & how he absolutely lays waste to defenders in the run game.

Those 2nd rounders are so tricky they just trickle in at the last moment due to greedy agents.

Reminds me of the center from Necessary Roughness....lets hope!

You can tell this kid is just oozing with that Samoan grown man strength.

If I am wrong, I am wrong, but I really think we’ve got ourselves a sure bet here.

Those 2nd rounders are so tricky they just trickle in at the last moment due to greedy agents.

It’s also due to the NFLPA. I’ve heard from insiders (on national shows) over the past few seasons Due to the contract slotting - most second rounders are “encouraged” to wait out the first rounders and then start negotiations.

Second rounders are tricky because a lot of times it’s players who had 1st round projections that slipped back a tad. So you can see why there’s a desire to insure that you are getting as much as you can based on slotting - since you’ll likely be seeing the field much sooner than say a 4th-7th rounder.
