Michael Thomas looks good. Better than good.

Oh wait, I thought one of these reporters said the Saints were good with the depth at LB? ...

As I've stated weeks ago, there is 33-year-old Demario, 2nd year Pete Werner (recovering from groin injury) & then it gets really dicey after that.

Too bad we didn't take a flyer on Anthony Barr.

Linebacker is definitely a position where adding a vet for depth purposes wouldn't hurt. 17 games + the possibility of post-season is an absolute grind.

Of those in for a workout, Hitchens would be my choice. Kiko knows the system but hasn't played football in several seasons.

I have a feeling they are looking at players that could be called upon if absolutely needed. With Kwon signing elsewhere it likely opened a LB slot on the speed dial list (ie. veterans that can be added if needed AFTER the first week of the season). I agree with you on Hitchens. I drafted him myself in a deep dynasty league as LB depth. 55 player roster prior to final cutdown to 45 the week before the season starts.

As for Barr, I've read teams had been looking at him mainly as a pass rushing option in a 3-4. We already have him on the roster as Zach Baun, I believe.
