Detroit third rounder is quite high… but please pay the man

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I’m listening…

The only common thread I can see running through the Fujita-Sharper-Hargrove business is the Saints’ front office not offering enough money. Is it just the great post-Super Bowl cash-in occurring? Or is Benson really being cheap?

He’ll be back and in a starting postion. He started his new life here in New Orleans, not just football but being clean and sober as a person.

They are pretty much handcuffed with who they can sign. Lots of talent on this team. Lots of priorities in signing. I for one am glad they haven’t made any knee jerk reactions and signed anyone away. They have done a pretty good job of signing talent. I for one, am not getting overly nervous yet. Nothing wrong with other teams setting the market for players. And if they overpay, then that just works in our favor. I like Hargrove, and i really like Sharper. But they are not worth breaking the bank over.

so I’m panicking. I hate to see the team being chipped off bit by bit. I was touched by Hargrove’s story. I’d hate to lose him.

that we can lose Hargrove. Personally I think he’s an important role player and pressure player on our front line. Not to mention he’s a very high character guy who brings much more than just production. Signing him back is very important, so what if you overpay a little bit? It’s worth it because he brings more to the team than just his skills. Keep him.

I hope he comes back. I like him for one and two its just great that he’s been able to turn his life around here in the first place. But seriously, if he does come back, is he a DT or a DE? He should be a DE but we don’t know how the coaches will use him yet. And if we have to pay a lot of money and then he ends up a DT again, it’s a waste.

So if they choose to just draft his replacement, having pick #64 and 66 would be great trade ammunition if we decide we want/need to do some moving around in the draft. And if we don’t, that basically means we could grab two very strong prospects nearly back-to-back. So if we lose him, it’s really not the end of the world.

We have an explosive offense. We need our D to be average to good. Great would be awesome. But it is a deep draft.

…but part of Hargrove success was, IMO, the way Williams managed his play-time. Still, he did have a nose for making very good things happen with the time he was on the field. Just not sure how much money I’d risk on him, specially since Loomis proved to be pretty good at picking guys on both lines with middle draft picks.

I worry much more about losing Pierre Thomas than Hargrove, Sharper or Fujita (even if that made my heart skip a beat).

to not be a starter he sure was on the field alot. Hey he proved himself to me. Do not want to loose this guy.

I like Hargrove.
