Saints Interested in LB Hawthorne?

New Orleans Saints show an interest in Seattle Seahawks linebacker David Hawthorne

Hawthorne was an undrafted free agent for the Seahawks in 2008 and has made a big impact for them. In his career with the team he has made 350 tackles, 6 sacks, and 7 interceptions.
He is a very passionate and physical linebacker and was given the nickname “Heater” by fellow Seahawk linebacker Lofa Tatupu who also worked out with the Saints last week. Tatupu later signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
Hawthorne is listed as a middle/weakside linebacker which raises the question if he’s signed, what Saints linebacker will be on the way out?
Linebacker Scott Shanle currently plays the weakside linebacker role and Hawthorne could be a considerable upgrade.

I like it! He might signal the goodbye to Shanle?

We could use a HEATER to warm up a QB here and there

The last SEA LB the Saints signed didn't really work out, but I'd welcome the change if it means that SS will change postal codes.

COULD?

Maybe we'll see the rebirth of Shanle under Spags?!

...and please no cheap jokes.

Spagnoula is going to find a way to bring his speed back?
