Furious now! @miketripletttp: First new #Saints signing: added former Seahawks LB Will Herring to a 3-year deal:

Saints agreed to terms with OLB Will Herring on a three-year contract.

Herring has made just seven starts in his first four NFL seasons, operating mostly as Seattle's fourth linebacker. He should enter a competition with Jonathan Casillas, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, and Martez Wilson at each of the outside spots. We'd avoid the Saints' linebackers in IDP leagues aside from MLB Jon Vilma.

Interesting...

I know nothing about this guy; can anyone fill me in?

papz 07-27-2011 01:36 PM
He played for Auburn... which is why his name kept ringing a bell for me. Other than that, I can't say I know much about him.

. . .

LB Will Herring, Age: 27
The skinny: The Auburn University product was one of the more versatile linebackers for Seattle last season, with the ability to play all three linebacker positions. However, Herring is looking for a starting role, and could be targeted by another team looking for linebacker help like Chicago or St. Louis. Herring played a lot for Seattle in passing situations, finishing with 36 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception. A fifth-round draft choice in 2007 by Seattle, Herring has started seven games over his four-year career with the club, and also has been a stalwart on special teams.
Stay or go? The Seahawks would like to have him back, but he’ll likely get a better offer to start elsewhere.
See ya Scott.

ok we have at least, a stud at special teams. a bright student of the game that can help with leadership on coverages. i like

You know... we found Shanle out of nowhere in '06 and he gave us multiple solid years. This could be another low key solid addition to our squad.

Cruize 07-27-2011 01:58 PM
Cheaper than Shanle. Wants to start. Versatile. Special teams ace.

Faster than Shanle? He'll be under my microscope.

Alaska

That's going to be one hell of a microscope since there's no NFL package for you!

That wasn't nice, funny though... LOL

RaginCajun83 07-27-2011 09:01 PM
Don't know him but if this signing sends Shanle packing then I love it

Rugby Saint II 07-27-2011 09:03 PM
He can play all three LB'er spots which means he has value immediately. Hopefully he's a student of the game and really thinks football. If so then GW ought to be able to utilize him pretty quickly.
I like that he is versatile and plays on special teams too. We sure could use an upgrade on the Special teams.

QBREES9 07-27-2011 09:12 PM
Lets see what he can do when given a chance.

hagan714 07-28-2011 01:48 AM

Still have that game?
Deleted that game from my DVR so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what he can do in Black and Gold.
