Here is a good video to watch during the offseason, I guess:

Brees, Saints Ready For 2009 - ESPN Video - ESPN

A couple of highlights of the interview with Drew Brees...they talk about:

-Apparently Reggie Bush guaranteed a trip to the SuperBowl on Regis and Kelly
-They talk about Vick to New Orleans rumors (Brees said that Vick deserves a 2nd chance whether it be with the Saints or elsewhere)
-They talk about his hair (Brees looks like a character from the movie "KingPin" in this interview
-They talk about how Drew Brees used to wear Andy Roddick out in tennis back in the day in Austin, Tx.

This got me a little excited for the season Saintslogo

New Orleans Saints' defense promises to be more versatile this season - New Orleans Saints Beat

If nothing else, the Saints' new-look defense will be diverse this season.
They lined up in several formations over the course of their three-day minicamp, including a healthy amount of 3-4 alignments. In one of their dime defensive packages Sunday, the Saints went with three linemen, two linebackers and six defensive backs.
"It's a trial-and-error thing right now, " said veteran safety Pierson Prioleau, who spent seven of the past eight years playing under new Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in Buffalo, Washington and Jacksonville. "We're just trying a whole lot of new things right now. We're a long way from home. So we don't really even know what we're going to do in this defense.
"But you're definitely going to see the best variation of things that we can give you so we can get the best 11 on the field."

Look like Dan Morgan is retiring.

Morgan will retire instead of play for Saints - News Updates - SunHerald.com

NEW ORLEANS — Sports agent Drew Rosenhaus says New Orleans Saints linebacker Dan Morgan has decided to retire from the NFL a second time.
Rosenhaus announced Morgan’s decision on his Web site Monday, saying Morgan wanted to thank the Saints for another chance, but that injuries “would not let him continue.”
Saints spokesman Greg Bensel says the Saints have not received anything official from Morgan.

The 30-year-old Morgan first retired before last season after seven years with the Carolina Panthers because of multiple concussions. He was trying to make a comeback with the Saints, but left minicamp last weekend with a calf strain.
Morgan was the 11th overall draft pick by the Panthers in 2001.

Guess that's good in the sense that we can save some money and probably use it on a younger, healthier player.

Saints short at center. Robert Meachem, Adrian Arrington, Colston and more:

Saints' rookie's career ends - News Updates - SunHerald.com

METAIRIE, La. -- Rookie center Alex Fletcher's career with the New Orleans Saints apparently ended before it ever really got started.
The Saints placed Fletcher, an undrafted free agent from Stanford, on the reserve/retired list because of a serious kidney condition, coach Sean Payton said Monday.
Payton said that after an offseason workout Friday, Fletcher told the organization that he would have to retire.

"Alex has a medical issue and unfortunately for him he can't continue to play," Payton said Monday after the team's Organized Team Activity. "I'd rather not go into the specifics, but its pretty serious.
"He has one kidney and the one kidney he has needs some work. That becomes an immediate stop to playing football. I think he's going to be done playing football."
Fletcher, 6-3, 296 pounds, started all 44 games that he played in college.
New Orleans now finds itself short-handed at center as Nick Lackey, the only other backup to starter Jonathan Goodwin, underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle. Lackey is expected to be able to practice when training camp begins July 30.
The Saints added depth at center by signing free agent Digger Bujnoch on Monday.
Bujnoch, 6-3, 296, was signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2008 and released last September. He was signed to the Bengals' practice squad last November and released last month.
Wide receiver Marques Colston missed the Saints' voluntary workout Monday, but was expected to return for Tuesday's practice, Payton said.
Wide receiver Robert Meachem was held out of team drills because of a slightly strained left hamstring sustained last week. Meanwhile, wide receiver Adrian Arrington (hamstring), defensive end Paul Spicer (groin), and tight end Dan Campbell (knee) remained sidelined. Cornerback Randall Gay, who had been sidelined by a sore knee, returned to practice.
The Saints have three more OTAs scheduled through Thursday. After that the players will be off until reporting for training camp.

How many ppl would use a pick in the supplementary draft to take Jeremy Jarmon? I actually hope C.Surrency goes undrafted and we could sign him as a FA and try him out.

Deep snapper Kevin Houser cut today:

New Orleans Saints release veteran long snapper Kevin Houser - New Orleans Saints Beat

Don't understand this one....about to become the most tenured player in franchise history, and gladly getting an important job done for the league minimum wage. And you cut him, and fill the spot with a guy who's 5 years older and will have to be paid even more. Anyone want to take a crack at explaining this move?
