I got my hopes up

But saints biggest need is far from CB. We have Delvin Breaux and Keenan Lewis(beast when healthy). Dline is what we need and guard.

Sobbing over missing out on Norman? Don't sweat it, most likely not worth the $, at least for the Saints. They got a ton of problems that rank higher.

I was surprised to hear the saints in the discussion even. I believe they have the least amount of cap space right now in the NFL, so would have needed to do some major moves just to offer him a deal, then piles more to get enough cap space for rookies in a week.

Just using over the cap..

Saints 2.9 mil in space
Draft picks 5.4 million in 2016 cap costs
Norman... Maybe get 10 mil a year on his first year cap hit with a big signing bonus?

So need to clear 12.5 mil in cap space over 2 weeks on a team that has been reworking deals already to clear space?

Saints need to fix the front 7 before wasting money on a CB. He would have not looked good in that defense.

It was Brees' idea, he was willing to restructure to get him. The FO I guess didn't want to pay Norman what he wanted.

Looks like we will be getting William Jackson III. Brees just stepped in and told FO he wants playmakers.

The fact that he's making more than the likes of Peterson, Sherman, and Revis means 31 teams won this signing.
