New Orleans Saints once again eyeing best options at defensive tackle

Last year, one of the Saints' top offseason priorities was to beef up their defensive tackle position and become more disruptive up front. A year later, they've still got that same gaping hole to fill.

Veteran defensive tackles Aubrayo Franklin and Shaun Rogers are both unrestricted free agents after spending one year with the Saints that was solid but unspectacular. Although both were decent against the run -- which is their No. 1 job description -- neither recorded a sack or forced a turnover.

Now the Saints need to decide if they want to bring one or both of them back, or if they want to try and upgrade a position that hasn't made much of an impact in recent years.

It's also possible that the Saints could consider releasing veteran defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, who is due more than $6 million in salary and bonuses and has never fully lived up to his potential as the seventh overall pick in the 2008 draft. Chances are, however, they'll keep Ellis and hope that he can make a bigger impact under the direction of new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
