Saints Fans - let's play Mickey Loomis for a second...
- Thread starter dawgstudent

He isn't that good between the tackles and he still forgets sometimes that he isn't in college and loses yards trying to reverse field. If he could possibly stay healthy and he returns kicks and punts, plays the slot, and totes the ball 10 times a game, then yes.
I think that money would be better served giving the OL a raise. Those guys have earned it with the season they've had.
he turns in a major performance in the Super Bowl. I'm talking MVP levels. If he manages to do that, letting him go would engender too much ill will from the masses.
Otherwise, he's been too inconsistent. Use that money to keep the rest of the roster intact, and pick up an athlete from somewhere else. Haven't looked into his availability, but I think Norwood would be a good fit. Certainly about the same skill set and health problems.

McCluster would be cheaper and could play the same role. Use the money saved to beef up defense - get a run-stopping Noseguard and a few younger, faster LB's.
Someone asked Mike DeTillier earlier this season about his status and he saidhe's hearingthat Brown is right on schedule with hisrehab and that the Saints would resign him. I'll go on saintsreport and see if I can find the link.
Jahri Evans is also a restricted free agent as well so we will be spending some serious cointo keep our oline intact. I don't think we can keep Reggie Bush at his current price. </p>

Maybe that had something to do with them running plays to the right side. That screen pass to Thomas was a brilliant playcall. But Brown is the better long-term answer. Also, I was impressed with that gigantic tight end that they kept putting in to help double some of the Vikings' d-linemen. Can't remember his name but it was obvious that he wasn't going to be catching any passes when he was in there.
there's a muffed punt, fumble, head-scratching 10 yard loss, etc. He's not worth that kind of money.
It will be interesting to see how the Saints handle all these RFA and UFAs cause they have a bunch.
Brown is going to command a big contract in free agency. I really think we end up going with Bushrod because of the economics of it. I was really worried about him blocking Allen, but he did a good job last night.
Scout 2008 article....The team has set themselves up to be able
to release him before the 2010 season if he hasn't realized his potential. With just $7 million in prorated bonus
money remaining on the contract, the team could release him and not only cover the
loss, but come out ahead by roughly $3 million since he's scheduled to
earn $8 million in salary, a $490,000 roster bonus and $1.5 million in LTBE
bonus money that year.<span class="storybody">
You've got to admire the way the Saints worked out this deal. They're showing
great confidence in their developing star by committing more up-front dollars to
him now and by giving him a huge incentive in the form of the roster bonus. But they
also gave themselves an easy — and cap-efficient — way out of this deal prior
to the 2010 season if the circumstances warrant that decision. </p></span>
