I'm gonna hold my breath, cross my fingers and pray (Dear Lord, I'll only drink four...er five days a week) that we pick up one big name defensive free agent this off-season.

So... if we only get one, who would you pick? I think there are three big names that will be swirling around (for us): Al Wilson, Charles Woodson and Cornelius Bennett. Which one would you pursue if you could only have one?

I'm gonna go with Wilson. Assuming we resign Howard, I think the linebacker position needs to be seriously addressed. We need a leader who is not an aging veteran to control the middle of the field. With this signing, we could use our first round pick on an impact corner.

Bennett is a close second. I think our D line is one DT away from being something special. Bennett would be my pick if we just hadn't let the LB position go for so long.

Woodson is miles behind at third. I know he has talent, but something about him scares me. Maybe it was his shennanigans in the Callahan going away party in Oakland this year. Perhaps Woodson's comments were justified... but I would much rather have seem him exercise his 'leadership' in a different way. Which leads me to the question of why Haslet would even be interested in C-Wood. To me, his signing as a Saint would just be a train wreck in the making. But, I digress...

So, since it's a slow day, and all we have to look forward to are some not-so-Saintly playoff games, tell me what ya'll think.

I'll be waitng with baited breath...
