NFL to chip in $20 million for Superdome repairs

(NOTE - I hope to continue updating the site with more news in the near future. Busy aspects of my life have prevented me from doing so as of late. My apologies to those who have been frequent readers.)

The NFL has agreed to pay $20 million to help rebuild the Superdome in New Orleans as a sign of its commitment to the city's recovery and the Saints' future, according to this article in today's New Orleans Times-Picayune.

It's a great signal that the league has strong intentions of truly giving the city and surrounding area a shot at showing its ability to support the Saints through this difficult reconstruction period.

Note that the updated article stated that if the NFL forks over $20M, then they expect the "exit clause" to be renegotiated to be $20M less.

Just when I was starting to feel good about all this...

How do you weigh in on free agents?

Who should we look to pick up?
