I hope I do not have to watch M. Jenkins dive at a runners feet with his head down and the runner jumps over him ONE MORE TIME.

The guy needs remedial Tackling for Dummies!

It seems like the only plays Jenkins makes are when he runs down a receiver who's running toward the end zone... Roy Williams in 2010 and Vincent Jackson in 2012 for example. So I'm in favor of having safeties who don't have to chase WR's 50+ yards to make a highlight-reel play.

Pass on Louis Delmas...

I'm actually surprised we're bringing him in for a visit... pleasantly surprised. Not due the fact we could possibly sign him, but it says something about our ability to go sign free agents in general while still having Graham's contract looming over our heads.

I know he's got some injury history, but when healthy he'd be the 2nd best safety on our roster.

I guess it all depends on how much he wants.

Free agent FS Louis Delmas is visiting the Saints on Thursday.
Delmas visited the Steelers last week, and has drawn interest from the Broncos and Falcons. With Roman Harper cut and free agent Malcolm Jenkins expected to walk, the Saints are in the market for safety help. Delmas was an every-down player for the Lions last season, but the Saints almost certainly wouldn't be counting on lighting striking twice. Knee issues limited Delmas to 19 combined games between 2011-12. Feb 27 - 2:52 PM

Happy to kick the tires at least.

And who wouldn't be? We aren't gonna sign a 8 million player like Byrd, so we're looking at mid-tier safeties.

I trust Ryan and Loomis to decide if his price/performance is in line with what we're looking for.

I don't know how much gas he has left in the tank but it does say we need FS help.

Darren Sharper 2.0?

.......not the rapist, the play-making football player
