Carl Nicks

Do not compare the two.


Carl Nicks was an All Pro

What the two people above me said^^^

Nicks was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better than Peat.

I agree but I think they were pretty similar as run blockers. Nicks definitely a better pass blocker from G position. Albeit Nicks couldn’t swing out to LT like Peat can

I think we underestimate Peat as a run blocker, dude has a pretty good history of embarrassing people. Now put a quick pass rusher inside and Peat may get embarrassed

Go rewatch the ATL game before he got hurt and watch what happened after he got hurt. Trust Peat is a premium player at the G position. The Saints will end up with a 10 YR starter at G probably 2-3 more Pro Bowls for him.

That's the thing, he's banged up very, very often

Wish we could find another just like him in Round 5 this year

This has no account for inflation.

That Nicks offer was like an all time high.

The Peat offer is pedestrian.

Peat is well worth it

It's not pedestrian
It's the most guaranteed money for a guard EVER

One was a Super Bowler

I don’t agree with this fully for 2 reasons. Nicks was the best guard on the planet for a couple years here. Yes jahri got most of the recognition but Nicks was an absolute grizzly bear who mauled anyone and everyone. You can’t compare the 2 and they don’t belong in the same sentence. The reason Peat got that money is the interior of our line is the most important for Drew. Add that to the fact that Peat if needed can kick out to LT (very valuable considering how often armstead misses time) and can play at an acceptable level. His versatility is what got him that money. He’s a solid guard when he’s healthy. Wildly inconsistent and the last 3 playoff games he personally was thrown around like a rag doll.
