yes, b/c we actually signed the guys instead of letting them slip away. we made competitive offers.
but i also believe these signings are a product of the coaching staff as well. i think payton has a lot of pull with players, and i think he probably had a very hands-on approach with brees. fujita has ties with payton, gibbs and vitt, so this move made a lot of sense for him.
i like how aggressive the saints are being, this is a very good sign for next year. but we can't stop now, go get some more players!!!
