**** , was hoping he would not be resigned. Guess Warren isn’t going at 9 now

Nah Warren is def still in play

Jeanty incoming.

Was expecting he would move on, especially for that kind of money. Hopefully it is heavily backloaded. That's top 10 TE money and I don't think he is that.

What does this move do to our Salary Cap??.... AND WHEN ARE WE SIGNING BECTON!!

 

[TruSaint]

Warren is absolutely still in play. We signed JJ to save money and Warren is better than him day 1. Plus you have 2 tight end sets. They’re not passing on Warren because of JJ

Idk, middling WRs are being paid 10M/season as a base. This could be plenty fine if they decide to make him more of the jumbo slot/mismatch guy in the scheme. Willing to see. Foster is an awesome back up that can do it all, and we can still find a developmental guy in the mid rounds--hopefully. It's too deep of a TE draft to ignore.

so it is becoming more and more apparent that we're the bottom of the barrel teams when we resign people who under performed and really let the team down. the saints don't care about winning anymore. this guy is not clutch and is a primodonna. always hurt.

Sure hope so

It’s pretty much an extension for cap purposes from the $6.5 million void year dead money. Its really like 8 mil a year.

6.5 million void year is irrelevant. This is an overpay no matter how you cut it.

10 mil a year for 500 yards and can’t inline block?

More than the Bengals paid Geseki who is undoubtedly much better.

 

[Rouxble]

I guess a positive is that re-signing your own free agents doesn't affect any potential compensatory picks.

I wonder if there's a clause in his contract to deactivate his TikTok account lol

Yes, this too is a business decision to buy time to better absorb his dollars and future leaving.

But he has shown enough to roll the dice that the new staff can make him a weapon in their scheme. Right now, the only reason he's open when he's open is because DC's don't care. That has to change.

He's been totally developed by the Saints as they signed him as a UFDA in 2020. So, congrats to him for getting a multi-year contract extension.

 

[jesusfish]

He will turn 29 during the first month of the season. He's more likely a descending player than ascending one.

We signed Juwan for 3 years 30 mil but let Will Harris walk for 2 years 8/10mil?
