we didn't pay too much....and of course iupati got more than Veldheer...
iupati is an established veteran pro bowl guard with a super bowl ring.......

Veldheer at the time was a fourth round pick just coming in to his own at the end of his rookie contract....but he had not had a great season yet nor proven anything.....Veldheer has played better for us than he ever did for the raiders,...which is why we grabbed him...

on Iupati....the saints pay 7.2 mil for one guard and 8.1 mil for the other....while he may be WELL paid...we did not over pay...for an experienced pro bowl caliber guard in the prime of his career...
A super bowl ring? Slow down there buddy ;)

Seeing him twice a year at least they know exactly what they're getting. A mauler in the run game. I hope he can hold up at least the three years.

Put Cooper at Center and I think we have the makings of a solid OL. Need one more good interior guy.

They had seem Adam Snyder twice a year too :). I'm confident this will work out much better.

These guys that complain about Cromartie tackling make me laugh then you must not like 95% of the corner backs in the NFL. They just want these imaginary perfect player. Hell Deion Sanders would flat out tell you I don't get paid to tackle.

Iupati is not a veteran with a super bowl ring. He's only been in the league 4 years he was in the Dan Williams draft. That's what I love these guys are YOUNG dominate offensive lineman

Yes, but he has played at least twice as many plays. And we may be a year premature with that description. :D

No, not an imaginary perfect player, just someone with balls.

PP is a bad tackler but he attempts to tackle. He doesn't back peddle when they run his way. I swear there was a play in the ATL game when Cro ran with their RB for 50 yards on a touchdown.

Yeah that's pretty much anyone that plays in the NFL it's insanely brutal

I'll take Cro any day of the week
95% of the CBs? Really? How many CBs did something like this IN THE AFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF GAME?????

Is that the type of guy you want? I can assure you that 95% of CBs ARENT like him.

Not to mention he also fought with All Pro and Pro Bowl S Eric Weddle all the time.

And it didnt stop even after he changed teams

Agree. Cro is nothing but a big athletic p****y.
