    Bobby Hebert had it on his radio show about 2 weeks ago.

    Well if it's a first round pick simply because the Saints don't have a 2nd rounder, then Loomis dropped the ball on this one.

    This is correct. It would become a second, but since we don't have one to give them, we'd have to pay up by giving up the first round pick. We won't be signing Vilma before Free Agency. He wants to come back to the Saints, let's hope he means it.

    With the hiring of Williams, I would think that he would be even more excited to be signed by the Saints long term.

    Schefter just said that Williams was conceivably 12 hours away from becoming the next Titans DC had he just waited it out a little longer. Schefter said the Saints were definitely pressuring him into a decision.

    Jim Schwartz, current DC of the Titans, has just been announced as the new head coach of the Detroit Lions.

    Great job Loomis and Co..

    Agreed. He's even said as much in his blog (not about Williams, but about returning):

    I just hope he can take a little less money and play for the team instead.

    Would be refreshing.
