The Chargers didnt put any big tender on him from what I have read.

From what I understand, they have a right of first refusal in matching qualifying offers; if they don't match, they get no compensatory pick...

Same as what I have read.
I would have thought that offers would have been made.Id love to see him opposite Colston.

i think the remaining WR are going to be third tier one year deal type of players. the amount of money wallace signed for scared a lot of people

looking at the roster at rush LB type of LB on the roster

Butler would compete for snaps with Will Smith(?), Martez Wilson and Junior Galette

thats why this is so fun. waiting to see were everyone settles in at

Add Will Herring to our list of linebackers; great signing for the Saints...

Brad Jones signed a 1-yr contract with the Packers for undisclosed compensation, so unfortunately he's off the market as well and it's a shame because he would've been another great (cheap) addition to the LB corps.

we need a dislike button grrr oh well

Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Jones signed a three-year contract worth $11.75 million that includes a $3 million signing bonus.

He was cheaper than Jr. to sign grrrr

I do not see any other ILB in FA worth chasing so draft it is

The Saints Linebackers story looks to be a good one this year...

Should Victor Butler be signed and we draft a linebacker in either the first or third round, we will have an amazing competition at all the LB spots...

The safe move is to sign New England Offensive Tackle Sebastian Vollmer...

Saints FO is crushing on Nnamdi...

I would sign Huff as an upgrade and for versatility...

Butler has yet to show he can bring it for sixteen games in a season...

I think we're down to our last two signings; it's like being a kid again and waiting for a baby tooth to finally come out...

While I'm convinced Safety is the least of our concerns on defense, I've always liked Huff. Huff and Harper at FS/SS and Malcom back to NB/DB works for me.

I also think Ryan is crushing on any player that happens to know his system and can still contribute.
