We could have signed any of those if we needed them. We had already picked up Fairley and Laurinaitis who were rated higher and didn't expect to see Anthony and Rankins go down. Dead money did not stand in the way if the Saints had wanted them. Name ONE player that DEAD MONEY kept the Saints from signing.

Fairley and Laurinaitis were not rated higher by anyone. Fairley's on his 3rd team in 3 years and was considered a lazy underachiever. Laurinaitis was considered physically declining and bad in coverage.

He's bad at tackling too, not just bad in coverage

Couldn't count on one hand the amount of times he got drove back by running backs last week.

But hey, at least we didnt move the first saints rookie LB that showed some promise to make room for him.....wait a minute...yeah we did.
