Archie Manning, Rickey Jackson, Willie Roaf named to Saints inaugural Ring of Honor
 

Former New Orleans Saints greats Archie Manning, Rickey Jackson and Willie Roaf will become the first members of the team's Ring of Honor, the organization announced Friday. The three players will be recognized at halftime of the Saints' Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 10.

"We, as an organization, have given thoughtful consideration and devotion in an effort to properly honor the contributions of the many great people that have proudly represented the New Orleans Saints and the City of New Orleans," Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement. "We are excited to induct the deserving members of the Class of 2013 and allow our fans an opportunity to honor the efforts and contributions that these men have made to our franchise.

Worthy picks. Too bad we had to wait so long...

Who is next? My guess is Deuce

Re: Archie Manning, Rickey Jackson, Willie Roaf named to Saints inaugural Ring of Honor
 

Morten Anderson, Sam Mills, Jim Mora or if it's players only probably Deuce.

I like this move!

I hope down the line the Saints HOF can get bigger an better too. I like it already but I can never get enough of history.

I'd expect Morten to be in the next round - maybe Deuce (who is my personal fav) too - both would be well-deserved.
