He might want to sign for less to be with the saints....but I doubt it, I think he just wants money.

Actually, the rules allow pads in pracice, but a very limited number of times for the entire season and the fines for infractions are in the 6 digit range.

OK. Well I think that the key thing for Tennant to improve on would be his timing with Brees and any line change duties that Goodwin had, neither of which really need pads to work on.

he is a bit long in the tooth but he just keeps chugging along. 129th consecutive starts

To me the question is, if we have money to spend on a big name free agent, would we rather spend it on Kreutz to replace Tennant (who may not even need to be replaced) or go after Lofa Tatupu to replace Scott Shanle?

Well...if he's coming in for a visit...

...he's only going to visit if there's a starting opportunity...

Kreutz would likely sign a one year deal; this would allow Tennant time to develop and provide a great insurance plan on this season and the investments (FA Signings) made for this season...

Good veteran presence if it's a 1 year mentality. I agree, we still need to upgrade that OLB position.

Payton & Co may have done just that in the 3rd round of this year's draft...
