This is good. We need numbers here to provide competition. We sure can't go back to the formula we used last year. Bring 'em in!

@SonOfNOLA . You've been posting some great info and I appreciate it.

It looks like the Saints don’t want to spend in 5M+ range with 8.3M cap space and committed to developing Penning at LT. They’re getting a couple vet minimum vets who has some starter experience but injury history too.

Peat might have outplayed the Saints spending range after he did really well at LT last year.

You would think if that was the case, he would have been signed already. I would bet he ends up in Denver.

Herron - another former Raider.

Guarantees or more than 1 year for security would be my guess for why he’s still on the market

Old, injury history, never put anything on tape to truly stand out after 2018. At this point I don't think anyone can say he brings anything to the table that any other journeyman OL wouldn't have. The entire offense is changed, so it isn't like he'd be useful as a veteran mentor teaching new guys the offense either.

This spoke to my soul

Never was!

Also possible team(s) were waiting until this week so it wouldn't mess with their compensatory pick formula and after the draft when they have a better idea of their needs. Many teams could use a player like Peat. Wherever he goes he'll at least have a chance to compete for a starting spot, I don't know if that's Denver.

I think these two signings put the roster at 90+1 (English kicker excluded), any new signings now will come with the release of another player. I still think they add a veteran safety at some point, still have a few options out there.

I agree, Peat is an unreliable older journeyman. Let’s get better going forward.
