We will miss Scott Fujita. He loved New Orleans, and wanted to stay, but in the end, Loomis was not willing to pony up a 3-year, $14 million contract to keep him. Good luck in Cleveland, Scott, playing for the Mad Genius. You'll definitely miss Sean Payton.

Good luck Scott, will never forget the 4 years you spent with the Saints.

It appears Holmgren may be starting to get the Browns on the right track.

re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*

Fujita is an eight-year veteran who helped lead the New Orleans Saints to a Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts last month. He has 19 sacks, five interceptions, nine forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in eight seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans.

"Scott possesses tremendous size for a linebacker, and this will allow him to play inside or outside in our 3-4 defense," Browns general manager Tom Heckert said in a statement released by the team. "He has been a starter throughout his career, has been exposed to several different defensive schemes and has been successful in all of them."

A fifth-round draft pick by the Chiefs in 2002, Fujita was a walk-on safety at the University of California before moving to linebacker.

Pashos has played seven NFL seasons, including last year with the San Francisco 49ers. He was a fifth-round pick of Baltimore in 2003 and has started 55 NFL games at right tackle with the Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars and 49ers.

"Although he's started at right tackle, he has the versatility to play inside as well," Heckert said in the statement, "and he will come in and compete at both tackle and guard with us."

The Browns finished 5-11 last season and missed the playoffs.


Terms of the deals weren't disclosed.

Well I'm pissed! I guess Sean knows what he's doing, but dammit...
He's going to be hard to replace. I thank him for all he's done for the team, the city of New Orleans and tha State of Louisiana. I wish him luck, but I can't wish him too much luck since, as Breesfan27 mentioned, we play them this year.

The terms of Fujitas deal just came in:

3 years $14MM, $8MM guaranteed.

Not sure why the Saints wouldn't match this. Must be saving money for Evans and Brees. I hope we go out and get a free agent now. We now know what we can spend.

By the way the Saints can sign a free agent and guarantee them $8 million in the first year now.

I lot of people want to "upgrade" Fujita and Shanle...

...don't dispute there are better athletes...

...but character plays a "Major" role in Championships...

...Thank you Fujita; now geaux suck it up with the Browns...

...your leadership will not be easily replaced...

He'll be missed as a person and a player. His oreo jokes, not so much.

Fujita is good. There are, however better linebackers.

I trust the staff. They just won us a Super Bowl.

Ditka, Haslet or other... ahem, coaches are no where in sight so I'm happy as a clam.
