Trust New Orleans Saints in the decision to let Scott Fujita walk

I would have been fine either way with Fujita. If he had stayed, we know what to expect, provided he stays healthy. However, it has been no secret that the Saints needed to upgrade the outside linebacker positions. I'm curious to see what direction the Saints go with this situation. I wonder if there is a possibility that Bobby McCray could become a tweener and play a lot from Fujita's position since he normally plays that side anyway. He and Fujita are roughly the same size, but McCray has more speed. He could be that speed pass rusher at linebacker if the Saints go a different route at DE to replace Grant. Just a thought.

I highly doubt that. Playing DE and LB is two completely different things. If we would run a stricct 3-4 I could maybe see McCray as an OLB but now as we have a multiple front D he would be a good fit a lot less.
