    From MMQB:

    "The Saints have been fortified with some interesting imports. Darren Sproles signed a four-year contract to replace Reggie Bush, who departed to Miami. The three other key acquisitions -- defensive tackles Shaun Roger s and Aubrayo Franklin, and center Olin Kreutz -- all signed one-year deals. Those three stalwarts signed for a total of $10 million.


    In a normal year, either with a bigger cap than the stagnant $120.4 million per team, or in a capless year, the Saints would have had to pay big money for one or more of those accomplished vets. Not this year. Weird but very significant trend: Of the free agent contracts signed this offseason, 271 have been for one year, and 190 for two years or more. Normally, about two-thirds of the free agent contracts are multi-year deals. This year, 58.5 percent have been for one year.


    That won't change much, most likely, in the next two years. Look for the cap, by mandate of the new CBA, to stay relatively flat through 2013. The next big bump (and I wouldn't be surprised to see it go up $20 million or more per team) will come when the new TV deals kick in before the 2014 season.


    "This was unexpected for everybody,'' said Franklin, the best nose tackle on the market, by far. He got one year and $4 million from the Saints. "I think most guys thought there would be money there in free agency.''
    Nope. Lucky for the Saints' run defense there wasn't.    "

    Johnson has been a beast so far. All over the field influencing play.

    I didn't see Jenkins' name in the original question.

    Because he's older, but he was another free agent DE mentioned in various threads who signed for much less than Johnson. If you're going to make an ass of yourself by pretending that a two game sample is definitive, I don't see a problem in me bringing up someone else who was available.

    We already had him. I don't miss him either, don't really care what people think about it. I was tired of his act.

    Johnson's been doing great so far. Of course, he should be for what hurney gave him. Wish we'd have done more at DT and CB.
