I don't think the Saints can afford him. Grab him before the Jets do. They lost Howard today.

is he any better than Tyson Clabo or even Columbo, both of whom everyone wanted us to sign at the time (don't lie about Columbo you know it is true)

Statistically he's better than Clabo who was WAY better than Columbo.

Sure everyone was in favor of signing columbo...but he was a training camp casualty in Dallas. Its not like people were asking for him over any other RT on the market. He was the ONLY RT on the market that week and we had a need. He was worth a shot.

The crime wasn't that we brought him in. Its how long we stayed with him.


I haven't seen enough of Streif to have an opinion other than he played on a good team and didn't stand out as a bad player.

Considering all he did was pass block....but at a VERY high level. Not sure he is a system fit @ 6'8 350

New Orleans has less than 2 mil under the cap. They have no room to sign anyone after they signed Byrd.

I would take pass block and protect tannehill all day.

Last year pass block was atrocious.

Man......Strief would really make this Off season a success and relax the feel of the draft IMO. They could still hit on 2 linemen in the later rounds and concentrate on the best players available instead of drafting for need which rarely pans out.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Strief and Smith!

Shelley Smith's path is not unlike that of Evan Mathis, who is now the best LG in football.

We had him on our roster but released him half way thought the 2008 season. He bounced around the league as a backup for about 7 years before he finally figured it out. Finally made the PB at age 32.

I'm not saying he will be as good but he definitely has untapped potential.

I know you guys love PFF stats so....Smith was the 4th ranked run blocking guard in football last year. behind only the two guards in Philly and Brandon Brooks in Houston.

Offer on the Table for Smith as we speak. Fingers crossed.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

strief declined to visit.

wants to stay in N.O.

Good luck with that minimum salary! What a joker. They already showed they have no loyalty to their players by releasing half the team last week....but he wants to stay. lol

He may regret that when they release him next year at 31 years old.

******************************************

Latest I have seen is that NO doesn't have the money to pay him, so he is now open to visiting other teams.

It also said, he didn't give a reason.
