I think all Saints fans were collectively aghast when they saw that tight end Coby Fleener had signed a 5 year, $36 million deal last offseason. Why trade away Jimmy Graham only to turn around and give that much money to an inferior player at the same position? While the ever elevated new salary cap has re-defined the parameters of contracts, making open market values of even pedestrian players exorbitant, the general perception around the fan base was the Saints were grossly over-paying at $7.2 million per year for a decent but not great player. Coby Fleener did little to change that perception with his first season in New Orleans.
