Mr Hindsight's Transaction Wishes

There have been a lot of people complain about the turnover of personnel we've had. Of all the moves Haslet has made, which players do you truly still wish we had? Remember that some we let go wanted enormous money.
Personally I'd only want 2 back. Well 1-1/2 really.

LeRoi Glover (even though he demanded a fortune). In hindsight I think he'd do extremely well teamed up with Grady. It would also allow Sullivan some growing time. Our DL would be a lot closer to Tampax's had we done this and we'd still be good long term. I think this is really the only mistake (player not re-signed wised) the Saints made.

Sammy Knight. I know I've bashed his 5.0 speed and will probably get hammered by the I told you so crowd, but with the injury to Mel Mitchell it would be nice to have him back. He'd provide experience and I think would team up well with Tebucky Jones. I only view him as a short term fix though, and I'd make it a priority to upgrade his position. It would have been nice if he would have decided to stay.

Honorable Mention:
Roaf. But he wanted WAY too much money and we got some extra picks for him. His cap would have prevented a lot of our current roster from being here. He also didn't want to be here so he may have been a major distraction. Kinda like Turley, except with talent.
Delhomme: I love his attitude and he'd make an excellent west coast offense QB. But with Brooks here he'd be a major distraction to our golden smiley boy. I like Bouman, but Jake would have worked out fine as well. His attitude may even spread to some of the lifeless players on this team.
