    Maybe they can find another Jarius Byrd and pay him to be on IR most of the year. Is there another Brandon Browned out there who needs a job?

    Saints signed this kid out of last week's rookie camp. Great hands, decent speed and is a nasty blocker. The odds of him making the jump from D-II to the NFL are very long, but he could be an interesting guy to watch this summer.

    Yes, I'm not sure why they don't just trade Brees and start over from scratch. They have no idea how to manage his salary and their cap while building a team. At least they won a Super Bowl before I died. Sure wish my dad would have been around to see it. Maybe my grand children will see them win another.

    So true. Definite head scratching move. Do they really think he's the missing piece on D? As tirk's .gif shows, he's was an absolute liability in pass coverage and that was from 4 years ago. He's lucky that Carolina's defense was good enough to hide him. I don't think we are. He was decent at rushing the passer in blitz schemes, but you've got to figure he's a step or 2 slower now due to the miles he's added to his legs.

    I'm not going to harp on our latest transaction.

    Probably a good thing they didn't get him. Really, if Brees goes down the Saint's are fucked anyway. Kind of funny for anybody to covet a former Cleveland Brown backup
