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.

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.

ahh, the Morten Andersen years... get to the 35, run 3 times, kick a FG and let the D take over

I would have loved to see all 4 of the dome patrol go in together.
just some other names that should be considered Eric martin, dave waymer, jim wilks, frank warren, jim dombroski, stan brock, jumpy geathers, wayne martin,joe horn, toi cook,hoby Brenner,dalton hilliard,duece, just a few but I can go on and on listing players but those guys are all pretty worthy imho
