So without further adieu, let’s take a look at these Saints players that are “flying under the radar” who Saints fans should pay extra special attention to, with the return of Saints football in just a few short hours from now.
“Clearly, when something like this happens”, Payton said, “our primary mindset is, ‘We’re coming unless you tell us not to”. “That was really an awesome play, ” Payton said.
Now that the Saints are here, it’s time to focus on getting back to their winning ways.
Nicks, who has played seven seasons in the National Football League, began his texting barrage around March and never let up. “Just having a veteran presence”, Nicks said, “you kind of look to that to see. how to conduct yourself throughout the building, throughout the season, in tight game situations”. I’m really looking at each and every year understanding I gotta prove it. “We’ve got a responsibility to be here and help here and we accept that”, added Harper.
“I think our players will embrace the opportunity to do something”, Payton said before arriving at the camp on Tuesday. The two topics, however, are related because he is heading into the final year of his current deal – and the amount of guaranteed money in his next contract could be one of the greatest sticking points. Fans want their team back in New Orleans for camp, but Justice wants the Black and Gold here for the long haul.
“Well a year ago there was a bunch of conversations about that when they were here”.
Payton said Nicks will have to work to find a role in the Saints offense, which will be a different experience for him, but Nicks said he’s been studying various offenses to ensure he can revive his career.
“I would hope we have a deal done”, he said.
“It’s not the same as Katrina because the scope is smaller, but you understand what these people have been though and how they’ve been hurting”.
Nicks, 28, said his agent stayed in touch with other teams.
