More on Simmons, probably old news....

Although he didn't play in 2005, LB Anthony Simmons is expected to start for the Saints this season. After a seven-year career with the Seahawks, Simmons found teams were cool to him because they questioned his attitude. The Saints, fearful of bringing in the wrong type of player at the start of coach Sean Payton's regime, had Simmons in for two days of interviews, then interviewed him for the better part of another day via telephone. Since Simmons signed in March, he has been working out with the team regularly and impressing coaches with his conditioning. The Saints hope they have unearthed a gem in the former first-round pick.
