YoloinOhio Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Where is his fantasy value? Not sure I trust this timeline. I know he tried to play through it at the end of the season last year because it was Drew’s last go around, and probably should not have.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 7 minutes ago, NewEra said: Great timing Mike. Worst contract in the nfl. You've got that right. Apparently wanted to take it easy during training camp and underestimated the recovery time. Just another case of paying a guy and having him check out. If this had been a contract year for him, I would bet the surgery would have been done months ago and he would be in the rehab process. The Saints need their few remaining top end talent guys to carry the load this season and Thomas does this. This is why a lot of owners don't like paying high end contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot people disagree, but I think the Saints have handed out some really bad contracts when Brees’ retirement should have been taken into consideration. They have all these big skill position contracts, but uncertainty at the QB position. It’s going to make rebuilding very difficult. The mistake is the belief some have that New Orleans are contenders. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some rumor yesterday that they were trading for Xavier Howard. Which would be really stupid IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never predict exactly what position will be the most banged up come playoff time.. I will say, the improvement that is needed would be better O-line run blocking and better TE production. I wouldn't look at the AFC championship game outcome and come to the conclusion that more WRs is the fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are terrible at contracts and managing the salary cap I don't disagree about the current contenders part. As for the cap and the contracts, I would argue that they have been very good at kicking the can down the road and retaining talent to prolong their SB window. They got screwed by the league with the non-PI that kept them out of the SB in 2018, which had they advanced and won would quite possibly have been Brees' swan song. They made a run the following season, but Brees' arm looked dead by then end of the season and the team was flat in the playoffs. IMO, the window closed with that loss. Their mistake was not recognizing Brees arm was dead before last season and instead kicking the salary cap can down the road for 1 more season. In fairness to the Saints organization, the city credits Brees arrival with saving the team from moving to San Antonio after Katrina. It would have been impossible to move on from him before he retired, and it would have been hard to tear it down with him still playing in 2020. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last tweet about the sleepers the Saints are "very high" on reminds me of the talk around the Bills during the tear down under Donahoe: "Yes, the Bills lost Ted Washington......but they are "very high" on young DT Leif Larson......they think he was a steal in the 6th round of that draft and a better fit in Gregg Williams system." 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sean Payton as a HC..........but people forget that he is very capable of fielding 7-9 teams. And that was WITH Drew Brees. Winston has talent but he couldn't get a very talented Bucs team to the playoffs despite throwing for 5,000 yard with a very talented group of skill players.
