Saints sign DB Fabian Washington

biloxi-indian · 07-31-2011, 11:38 AM

Washington is a depth signing for a Saints team that should boast one of the league's better secondaries this season. He has missed a total of 12 games with injury the past three seasons, but could be an asset behind Jabari Greer, Tracy Porter and Patrick Robinson if he can stay healthy. It's not a guarantee he'll be able to pass rookie Johnny Patrick on the depth chart, however. Jul 31, 10:59 AM

I wanted this guy a couple of years ago. Nice pick up but I would like to see a LB signed with last name Barnett.

New Orleans Saints News

Still waiting on more defensive signings by the Saints, like a veteran DT and maybe another OLB.

Check out the text he sent!!
Ravens cornerback moves to Saints

Cornerback Fabian Washington has left the Baltimore Ravens for the New Orleans Saints for a one-year deal.

"Saints," Washington wrote in a text message. "One year."

Find them a home
These guys weren't picked in the draft, but they still have skills. Here are the top undrafted free agents.

Then, he added on his Twitter account: "Who Dat"

Washington, a former first-round pick of the Oakland Raiders out of Nebraska, lost his spot in the Ravens’ starting lineup last season to Josh Wilson.

With needs at DT and desperate needs at OLB why are we messin around with a CB who will only see action in a dime package.

Stupidest Headline Of The Week Award.

I just so happen to love a lot of people who ARE gay, and
I get really sick of this kind of **** on internet chatboards.

Not only that, Randall Gay is a 3X Champion (1 with LSU, 2 with NFL,)
a Louisiana boy, and a stellar human being.

It's called a joke. You know what they say about people who can't take a joke?

and with the free for all still going on up front, DB's may STILL have to over indulge in run support. That will keep them hobbling and ailing in the back. Until we know that the DB's can consentrate on coverage ( proof of a pass rush and speed on the edges ), we may need good depth across the back, AGAIN.
