Should the Saints be interested?

Hangs with an unsavory crowd? You know the guys that Ray Lewis hangs around with? He had one run-in with the law years ago. He hasn't had a run-in with the law since then. He's supposed to be a great teammate and knows how to win.

And for anybody who says he's not the Ray Lewis of years past, you might be right. But I'll tell you what, if I could get a guy who would post 121 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, and a defensive touchdown every season, I'd take him in a heart beat. He might not be MVP of the league, but he still racked up the 12th most tackles in the league. He had 27 more tackles than the nearest Saint. Yes, he's old, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have 3 or 4 more years in him. If it was me, I'd bring Ray Lewis in without a hesitation.
