isleseeya Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 well Raiders and Jets should have fun over next few weeks ...man talk about mismanagement ...to be that bad this past seaosn and still be close to 30 million over the cap is pretty scary ..and sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordo Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I see that the article was written in early January so some of the info isn't quite up to date, but whoever put this together didn't do his homework. The Saints have said since the middle of last season that they weren't going to resign Howard... 15 New Orleans Saints $10 M ...The flip side of the coin is that the team has some quality free agents (such as Darren Howard) that they must try to re-sign....

Heard it and read it numerous places. What exactly do you mean by resign at a fair price ? The guy has said he wasn't taking a cut (from close to $8 mil !). With Grant and Smith, they were never going to resign him for 2006, especially after his tantrums last season. They gambled last year, reluctantly tagging him in hopes of making a trade (almost had a deal with Dallas before the draft) but they couldn't make one happen then. He played well early, then became a distraction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not want a cut...but he is not in control of that. He has not played to $8M a year, so he won't get it again. BTW...I am not saying the Ain'ts WILL re-sign Howard, I am just saying it is not out of the realm of possibility.

Like I said, they've been saying since the middle of last year he wasn't going to be with the club after this year. Tell ya what, you start listening to New Orleans sportstalk every evening, read the Times-Pic sports section daily, listen to the head coach's radio show every week during the season, spend a fair amount of time on SaintsReport.com, and hang with a group of friends which includes [1] a guy who covers the Saints for the Times-Pic; [2] a guy who has the ESPN radio gig for game day reports from the Superdome; and [3] a guy who's very good friends with the Saints radio sideline reporter, and then maybe we can have an intelligent discussion about the Saints and their personnel...
