OK, I think I may have the answer based on past results...

1. OUTSIDE LINEBACKERSTwo intriguing younger players who should come at a cheaper price are the Cowboys' Victor Butler, who has shown some pass-rush ability as a backup, and San Diego Chargers situational pass rusher Antwan Barnes.

2. DEFENSIVE END
San Diego's Vaughn Martin, the Oakland Raiders' Desmond Bryant and the Washington Redskins' Kedric Golston were also mentioned as potential bargains.

3. NOSE TACKLE
The Saints probably won't be interested in bringing back Aubrayo Franklin from the San Diego Chargers, though he has proven to be more effective in 3-4 defenses than he was in the Saints' 4-3 in 2011.

Now if we pick up some more ex-Chargers and they excel with us, do you think their owner will start eating the furniture? Or, will he be too busy looking under it to see where Norv's gone?
