Yeah, but odd timing. You would think he would have waited a few more days.

What's the cap impact?

He has $783k in deferred bonuses that would need to his the books now. The tricky part is he was due a roster bonus of $1.75M as of 3/18/24, but not sure how protected that would be if he chooses to retire 5 weeks later.

My guess is it drops from $2,971,000 to $783k; but it could be $2.5M because of the roster bonus

We're 100% going to be jumped by a team that needs OL help.... possibly two at this point

Almost guarantees we can't take an offensive weapon if they unexpectedly fall to us (Bowers, Nabors, Odunze, etc)

Welcome back buddy.- Picture of Peat

That might be the biggest offseason move that the Saints could make at this time. If you re sign Peat- you could go with one of the RT in the draft

It would be huge about now

They have to sign Peat or Becton now IMO. I think the new staff has hopes they can salvage Penning but you can’t get on that. Getting Peat lets you take a RT and Becton can play either side. I think Alt, Fashanu and one of Fautanu or the Oregon St tackle will be gone when we pick so they have to be prepared to take a RT over left. I love the kid from BYU and you can get him even if you trade back and grab an extra 2nd or 3rd. There are lots of good OL in this draft thankfully that we don’t have to go all out for one guy. I personally think Alt is the 4th or 5th best OL. His tape didn’t impress me.

If the qbs are gone maybe. Otherwise the price will most likely be way to high to grab a OT.

At this point, I have a feeling this is what they are going to do in the 1st round.

Mediocrity, cap hell, poor drafting, free agents can’t/don’t want to come here.

Shitty ownership
Shitty front office
Shitty coaching staff
Low to mid-level on-field talent

I remember the Mecom years.

This feels like those dismal years.

The common thread is bad ownership.

Latu wouldn’t be a good fit I don’t think. He’s like Baun and Kikaha in that he’s a standup 3-4 OLB pass rusher. Someone like the Steelers he would be great next to TJ Watt. We have enough DE i’d love to see us trade back to around 20, pick up a day 2 pick then take a OT, WR and DT.

Carl Granderson might be our best DE now. Let that sink in.

Carl and Bresee are good NFL players. Make fun of the rest.

Grandson was going to be a first round pick, before the chick lied about the assault charge

probably started his conditioning to prep for training camp, and realized, I cant do this again.


And they made him take a pretty big cut down to the vets min almost.

They need to sign charles leno jr. He is much better than peat and Becton
