Saints work out WR Deon Butler/Jason Hill
The Saints are working out free agent WR Deon Butler.
It's Butler's first workout since he was cut loose by the Seahawks. A 2009 third-round pick, injury limited Butler to five games and six catches last season. He'd be a pure depth signing for the Saints. SaintsSource: Aaron Wilson on Twitter |

Re: Saints work out WR Deon Butler
Defense??
Why are they not trying to improve there? Is there anyone out there on the market that could be inserted onto the D line? |

Re: Saints work out WR Deon Butler
You cant sign what is not available.
Try and find a Left Tackle... Just try and find one available and worth the paper to sign him. You can only upgrade a position if upgrades are available. |

Re: Saints work out WR Deon Butler
Deon Butler is a deep threat... Replacement for Meachem and situational.
He is 5'10' 183 lbs and runs a 4.38 in the 40... 4th among all WR in the 2009 Combine, and 11.3 60yd shuttle 3rd in the combine. He is a hair faster than Meachem@ 4.39 and a match with Henderson. 4.32-4.4 |

Re: Saints work out WR Deon Butler
We signed a guard off the Falcon's practice squad. They should put him in at tackle. Evans and Nicks were converted tackles. Why could they not convert a guard to tackle.

Maybe depth.. Not a starter. Saints o-line 9 sacks / 18 QB hits yards/rush 4.3 Falcons o-line 11 sacks / 22 QB hits yards/rush 4.1 Who would you suggest he replace? You don't reform a guard to Tackle mid season. |
