DT Turk McBride signs

papz · 07-31-2011, 09:29 PM

Saints agreed to terms with DE Turk McBride, formerly of the Lions.

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

I believe that they tried to make him drop 30 pounds his second season and play a rush 3-4 OLB... that certainly didn't help the cause. I think I read that somewhere last night.

Well I don't know anything about him. But so glad we are still pulling in people for GW to work with. They must see something in him.
