Saints acquire LB Barrett Rudd from Seahawks for an Undisclosed Pick

I'll take a healthy bum over a handi-capped stud .....He might accidentally make a play..... or two

Yeah, I don't see us offering anything higher than a 6th or 7th round draft pick. He is coming off surgery and is value seems relatively low but he could pull a Sharper and revive his career.

Yeah, that's what I meant. More metaphorical than a literal comparison.

He was the odd man out in Seattle; it looks like he was an insurance policy in case the guy they moved down to draft didn't cut it
I think it's a good pick up and that he'll see significant time on 9/10, and might even start

I doubt this is considered a long term solution, but probably plugs a hole for now and maybe a backup who provides some ST help

I doubt he will play ST's, but he can start in the immediate future and will be great depth...

Somebody made the effort to go out and get the guy. We could have picked some scrub from the trash heap but the people who brought us Junior Gallette, Chris Ivory and Isa Quduus saw fit to trade for him so I'm good with it.

Excellent point, and let me add...

Pierre Thomas, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, De La Puente, Lance Moore, Vilma (who many thought was over), Dave Thomas, Scott Shanle (OK bad example), Casillas, Hartley, Cadet and even Darren Sharper.

All were met with skepticism and poo-pooed by many and all turned out to be solid moves.

The more I hear about this guy the more I think he has a huge upside. Even the Falcons fan at work told me he was legit. We might have found a good vet on the cusp or resurecting his career.

P.S. Im gonna laugh my ass off if Shanle beasts out this year and has a monster season.

8 pages and a fudging Falcons fan.

Better late than never... I guess.
