Saints have signed DE Jimmy Wilkerson to a one-year deal. Nice move for another veteran fee agent for their rotation.

I really like this move. The Saints have experienced a great deal of success recently by picking up these veterans coming off injuries for bargain basement prices. This frees up the draft for filling the OLB and DT needs in the early rounds.

I dont think we will be drafting a DE..

Re: Saints sign Jimmy Wilkerson
 

he's 29, not exactly a sack machine.

adds good depth.

looks like Loomis/SP are setting the stage to go BPA round 1

Re: Saints sign Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Agreed, unless it comes down to a no-brainer, best-on-the-board situation.

Re: Saints sign DT Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Saints sign former Bucs DE Jimmy Wilkerson -- 1 yr, $2M. He wanted a 1 year deal so he could bounce back from ACL then hit the market next year.

Nice job Loomis. You keep hitting those singles and doubles bud.

Re: Saints sign DT Jimmy Wilkerson
 

How could he pass a physical? I thought he tore his ACL during the Dec 27th game against the Saints.

Fast healer!

The chance to play for the superbowl champs can do wonders..lol

Re: Saints sign DT Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Quality rotational player that hopefully will make an impact. I'm ready for a disruptive DT.....maybe in the draft or possibly a trade.

Re: Saints sign DT Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Good sign. Solid player to add to the rotation. We could still draft a DE for some youth into the position if the right person is there, but I agree that it seems we are certainly leveraging our position for BPA.

If for some unknown reason Jermaine Gresham falls to us at 32, he will be in a Saints uni next year.

What Bucs fans are saying about this.

Re: Saints sign DT Jimmy Wilkerson
 

That's funny and I also get the feeling that it may be offense at #32. Gresham is a pass catcher so maybe. I wouldn't put it past the Saints to grab Jahvid Best if he drops or even Dwyer at #32. Although my hope is Hardesty in the later rounds. Just don't be surprised everyone.

Re: Saints sign DT Jimmy Wilkerson
 

surprised by a saints draft?

like trading 2 #1's to draft Sullivan?
or trading all picks for Ricky?
or using a #1 to draft a backup for Ricky?
or trading up to draft Pittman, or a punter?

no, I expect another surprise-free draft

Re: Saints sign DE Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Wilkerson was having a career year last season before he tore his ACL, glad to have him hopefully will help create pressure with all the rotational guys will we have now.

:mrgreen: Well said.

Re: Saints sign DE Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Solid ... Bears fans are disgusted about alex brown!who dat

Re: Saints sign DE Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Good move. We'll probably not look at DE until round 3-4 at the earliest. Would still like to see us get a young guy to develop.

Re: Saints sign DE Jimmy Wilkerson
 

Good Depth

Some smart work by the front office, again
