"Some folks" (like WhoDat ;) ) have stated the Saints aren't going after the right positions.

Well, I just want to clear something up.

The needs, according to most, were right tackle, linebacker, and safety.

So far the Saints have scheduled visists for:

1. OT Fred Miller, scheduled to vist today.
2. OG Jermane Mayberry visited yesterday.

That looks like not only are they trying to sign an offensive tackle but they want to upgrade at offensive guard also.

AND ... the Saints contacted LB Antonio Pierce but he cancelled all visits and talks with all teams because the Giants made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Reported on WWL!

Also, the Saints are trying to work a deal to get safety Donovin Darius from the Jags.

Then they are exploring the possibilites of upgrading other positions such as TE and back-up running back.

If we come away with Fred Miller, Mayberry, and Donovin Darius, I will consider free-agency to be a major success.

We can't get everything. We'll see about LB!
