Yeah, signing Trufant would be like repeating the same mistake they made last off-season in signing Fabian Washington.

The only thing is Washington has never been good... always had great measurables which make him interesting.

I thought that Washington did have some productive years with the Raiders earlier on, but you're right, he was never that good, which begs the question: why were the Saints interested in him?

Isn't Trufant sorta "injury prone"?

Yeah, among other things he suffers from chronic back pains.

Measureables, depth, and probably cheap. We already had Greer, Porter, and Robinson in front of him... at best he was going to be our dime in front of Patrick.

For every Darren Sproles and Jimmy Graham we take a chance on, there is a Fabian Washington or Shaun Rogers.

...and Jason David.

On another note, talking about players the Seahawks's have released - has there been any news of Lofa Tatupu since he visited the Saints?

I don’t like it. Spags likes physical corners and to me he’s a little under sized. I say pass.
