Saints acquire LB Barrett Rudd from Seahawks for an Undisclosed Pick

Hey now, Shanle could run down tight ends too! He ran right down and watched them cross the goal line.....

Welcome aboard Barrett. Hope you have the best season of your career.

Hell we needed another body. Maybe it's a late-rounder with performance contingencies?

Hopefully we are getting all the bad luck out of the way early. Maybe this means we will have a streak of good luck throughout the season. It would be such a tremendous story if we could rise above all this adversity and come out SB champs. No team has ever surmounted this kind of adversity. The cards could not be stacked any less in our favor.

Im not sure i see the point in this trade.
Why waste a draft pick on a injury prone vet.Surely there would be free agents out there that could do the same job.

Define "injury prone".
According to NFL.com, from 2005 to 2010, Rudd missed only one game in 2007. Last year, he played 9 games with the Titans, but was placed on IR after wk 14. He played last Saturday against Denver.

Been awhile since I have heard anything regarding Rudd. This is clearly a need and I would feel he came really cheap. Overall a space filler.

Ruud had shoulder surgery this offseason;

Barrett Ruud scheduled for surgery next week | Titans Insider

"The eight-year pro was limited during training camp because he’s recovering from groin, knee and shoulder injuries he suffered last season."

Barrett Ruud back in NFC South

Solid vet. Worth a look.

This is a solid pickup. And maybe Rudd can teach our boys how to tackle.

Remember this guy as a high functioning linebacker with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He journeyed off to Tennessee then to Seattle, now to NOLA. For several years he led the Bucs in tackles.

Totally agree, let's hope he brings a solid TACKLING ethic.
