Now that is a solid signing.

Not bad.... that's less than what you take home, I am sure.

Saints sign DE/OLB Anthony Spencer (1 year, $950K; $150K guaranteed): A- Grade
Anthony Spencer hasn't played well since his microfracture knee surgery back in 2013, but perhaps he'll be able to rebound now that he's two years removed from the injury. He'll also be playing under Rob Ryan again, whom he thrived under when Ryan was the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys; Spencer collected 11 sacks in Ryan's final season in Dallas.

The issue, however is that Spencer turned 31 this offseason. Microfracture surgery is tough to come back from, so that's another hurdle. Still, the Saints aren't risking much, giving the edge rusher just $150,000 guaranteed.

The think that excites me the most is that in 2014 he got better and better as the year went on.

That tells me the injury became less and less a factor.

Note: According to PFF stats he played lights out in the playoffs last year.
He led all defenders in QB hurries, in only 2 playoff games.

If this cat is even 90% of his former self, we stole him. At 31 he is on the downside of his career, but 31 isn't over the hill for a LB at all.

The more I read about this signing the more I like it.
