Saints | Team interested in Ashworth

The Boston Globe reports the New Orleans Saints are showing some interest in free agent OL Tom Ashworth (Patriots). There has been nothing reported concerning a visit to New Orleans.

He's not dominating like Brick, but takes a lot of time to prepare. Gives good effort and out works DEs. Might be a good replacement for Gandy if we decide not to draft Brick. If we are interested we need to move quick though, he's already scheduled to meet with the Titans and Texans.

Dolphins | Team only discussed preliminary numbers with Arrington; price is too high

Armando Salguero, of the Miami Herald, reports the Miami Dolphins have spoken with free agent LB LaVar Arrington (Redskins) and preliminary numbers were discussed, according to an NFLPA source. The Dolphins' priority is clearly Arrington, who visited last week. But Arrington's asking price is reported to be in the $6 million-a-year range, which is probably too rich for Miami.

I wonder at this point in free agency if anyone but Arizona has this kind of money to offer? If we switched to 3-4 and he would come off the price a bit, I'd be really pleased to sign him.
