2016 Saints Free Agency

K Major · 03-11-2016, 11:10 PM

Zach Brown - LB Titans ... still available.

FAST, instinctive and excels in pass coverage. Put him at the WILB, alongside Stephone at the MIKE and we are in business. He played well last season vs the Saints. Probably wouldn't break the bank either.

That could be a "fit" in New Orleans.

Does anyone think that Roddy White could be a number 5 or 6 for us for just one season? A great locker room presence, would come cheap and has a little left in the tank IMO.

IF healthy, I'd like this signing for depth with a caveat...

I'd rather see a promising draft pick or UDRFA not have his time limited by a veteran with a small career window remaining...

Now, there's another thing here that concerns me...

This chatter about bringing on FA Laurinaitis to 'quarterback the defense'...

Where and who is this 'quarterback the defense' idea originating?!?

Is there no confidence in Stephone Anthony in that role?!?

Would Anthony be moved outside if Laurinaitis is signed?!?

Hoping to hear some news this weekend since our coaches should be back home in NOLA after their pro day's road trip to Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State. Hopefully a player or two comes in for a visit.

And I was catching **** for wanting to draft two safeties?!?

Don't get me wrong, the line(s) are the biggest (or smallest) issue we're facing...

But our midfielders have been awful with regards to allowing big plays and not forcing enough turnovers...

How about 6'4" 330 lbs DT Jesse Williams former Seahawk?
