Saints sign Shaun Rogers; Hartley extension

I guess we're going defense end, OLB or RB in the 1st round.

A 1 year deal is interesting.

I doubt thats what Rogers wanted, but maybe it says something about our organization that he signed a 1-year deal.

Maybe he views us as a team that believes that if you produce, we'll work out something better with you for next year.

Or...

He thinks he'll pocket 4 million, play well, and land a 3-4 year deal with someone next season.

The pressure was probably all on him since without a contract before March 3rd, he has no health benefits at all.

Yes I can see the Saints drafting an DT but with this addition the inside just gotten better, let the competition begin

I'm thinking the second. Not only does signing here give him an opportunity for a ring, if he plays well he could land that last contract. Regardless of how he's thinking, he should be very motivated to play this upcoming season... and Ellis is going to have a monster year because of it.
