The 26-year-old McBride can play both end and tackle, and he recorded career highs in sacks (5) and forced fumbles (3) as an eight-game starter in Detroit last season. The signing makes it increasingly unlikely that the Saints will be able to afford bringing back Alex Brown. They have Will Smith, rookie Cam Jordan, McBride, and promising rush specialist Junior Galette at end. Related: Lions

Turk looked bad! He took poor angles, quit on a few plays, I Say King takes his roster spot! As of first game.

moving to the saints will make him 3 sacks better

Can't miss what you never had ....Alex Brown I was hoping he was going to do great thing last year.. Yup didn't

The dude did have sacks against some pretty elusive QB's last year, considering he tallied sacks on Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick and Jay Cutler (probably multiples on Cutler because of the overly porous Bears' offensive line last year). He recorded a total of 5 sacks just last season. Not too bad for only having started 8 of their 16 games last year. Just saying...

Sounds like a nice pickup from what can be read about him. Especially important to build depth to be able to handle the first 4 weeks without W Smith. How will this affect Charleston?

...don't forget he played along side Suh last year ... I am sure it was a factor in his production.
