This is why for months I've beaten the drum for either Danny Trevathan or Brandon Marshall (RFA)...

Was glad to see Ellerbe redo his contract, but at his age, can he ever get healthy?!?

Still think the first two (2) priority free agent signings should be, first, NT Damon Harrison (Jets) and, second, WLB Danny Trevathan (Broncos)...

With Ellerbe redoing his contract, get the feeling the Saints are thinking draft for a WLB and for the second priority FA signing, it'll be a guard...

If I were the Saints GM, I'd sign Harrison, which will take a signicant contract; then, if Brees wants better Guard protection, I'd use that as leverage in a re-worked deal - "You want 15+ or are you willing to knock it down to 10 and allow us to go out and pay a Evan Mathis and Alex Boone?!?"

No matter what happens, we must acquire a proven NT like Harrison and not risk it in the draft...
