A more complete list:

Not too many big surprises.

I will say this though: Seeing names like Young, Quinn, Clausen, Leinart, and Tebow on here gives me a little chuckle. All names that Vikings fans have mentioned in regards to our QB situation. Eek!

So Vilma basically says he'd be uncomfortable with a gay teammate, and now he won't be re-signed. Does that mean the Saints plan to draft Michael Sam? The plot thickens muhahahaha.

I might take a flier on Rice, especially if they let simpson go.

One day. That's how long it took for someone to say we should sign Rice. I totally thought it would be within minutes of Melanie's post. But still, NO.

Absolutely. Rice has never had a full season in his career has he? If we paid him a bag of peanuts for each game played it would be too much IMO.
