Dhani Jones
 

I just heard John Clayton reporting on ESPN radio in Austin that the Saints are close to signing a 1 year deal with Dhani Jones. Anyone else heard more on this? What do yall think if we sign him? I don't know much about him other that what I have seen of him on NFL Network TV.

I can't find anything on my usual sites but that doesn't mean it's not true. He's be a good addition I think.

He's been arrested back in March 26, 2006.

now for the whole story

Jones was arrested on March 26, 2006, in Miami, Florida. He was charged with "failure to obey a lawful command" after he refused police orders to stop dancing in the street outside a South Beach nightclub, the Snatch Rock & Roll Bar and Lounge. Others who were dancing at the same location complied with the police orders, and were not arrested.

now that is not so bad. he can do that here all night long.

in Phili he was playing out of position. If he comes in at the weakside LB position, I think it will be a good pickup.

he would be a great addition


i hope this is true

The stats below are of the bowtied one Dhani Jones, I haven't found a tie between him and the Saints, but if it's true he would be a capable backup.
He's still not my ex-eagle of choice (Darwin Walker is my choice).

would be a backup, i would also rather walker

Agreed. Like him for depth and that's it. He's not proven himself to be a difference maker as a starter.

Clayton was saying the same thing that he would be a great depth player who could start if need be. I haven't heard anything else about it. I do know they were discussing a 1 year deal. Don't know for how much.

I'm all for it. I've always liked Dhani Jones
