Would just like to point out, that alot of people were posting comments that we should just get rid of Grant, because he was not acting like a "Payton type of player". I'm glad he got resigned as well, but if this were a game of "Around the Horn", some people would be getting points taken for flip flopping. : )

It's a fair deal, it gives the Saints more cap room this year for the June cuts, keeps the continuity of the defense and a very good player in town, and prevents Tampa Bay from getting a very good player in 2008.
Loomis, baybee!!! It's like someone secretly substituted our regular GM crystals with Jim Finks crystals, |

I was happy when I heard it. Everytime the ball is snapped, Charles is chasing the QB or RB. The QB cannot set his feet often, when Charles is chasing him. He is not going to get the sack everytime, but he is always there trying to get it.

Grant is well worth the money he was given..
What gets me is how Benson has been spending money since last season, he's helping in building one hell of a team... The upcoming season looks good for Saint fans |
