Carl Nicks earned a 5 year 47.5 M (31 m GTD) in 2012. Peat earned 5 year 57.5 (33 M GTD) in 2020. Both were 2 times pro bowlers. The difference is one left the other stayed. Very important to note that Nicks loss was felt hence the reason they drafted Peat. Which is why bringing him back makes sense due to a repeat of the same mistake made in 2012.

Nicks was nasty and had a mean streak..Peat is a fat slob. Got away with using sheer size in college. Has hid behind great offensive years to earn “pro bowls”

Carl Nicks was all-pro, on a HOF trajectory.

Did you just compare a 2012 contract to a 2020 contract? Lol

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

How dare you disgrace Nick’s name mentioning it in the same sentence as jelly-belly Peat.

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.

Man I miss Nicks, we should have matched that contract. The hole he left cost us some of Brees prime years. He’s at the top of the list of saints players I regret losing. He prob feels the same since the move ended his career.
