Re: Saints interested in LB James Laurinaitis
I would like this as a one year stop gap only. I like his tenacity and attitude and he is a good locker room player to teach young guys how it's done.

"Teacher, good locker room guy, attitude" ... sounds eerily familiar to what we were praising #39 on last year. As some posters have already stated, there are better options out there in FA at the LB position. Pass |

He left without a contract and I hope that is the last we see of him.

Re: Saints interested in LB James Laurinaitis
The only good thing with him is he played all sixteen games last season. That would be nice to have. Other than that, I do think there are better options. I would actually like to use a early pick in the draft so we can have a young group of LBs.

Re: Saints interested in LB James Laurinaitis
dude stays healthy. we run enough different packages to fit him in the lineup successfully somewhere. If he is cheap he would easily be one of the best defensive players we have. He is a leader and good locker room guy. Anthony and other young players can learn alot from him. I say go for it if we dont have to break the bank. The market wont be set until FA opens anyway so I wouldnt be surprised if they pass until then.
