He's going to command a big contract because of his production this season. I doubt the Saints will be willing to give up a 1st round pick and a huge salary as an investment on a guy with that kind of condition. Especially when they could get a much cheaper option with that 1st round pick in the draft. (Lauranitis/Spikes)
That being said, if the Chiefs don't spend outrageously on his contract, I wouldn't mind bringing him in. But if we get rid of Herm, we get rid of the only advantage we would have to get him here.
