Re: Saints to sign Ted Ginn and Klein.
 
Nice to have a bona-fide kick-returner for once, but if Ginn has anything left in the tank is another question.

Kevin Zeitler needs to go ahead and sign so I can stop stressing over it. I'll take D.J. Fluker too. Grab both of them.

Same here. Gotta wonder though.. we now have 3 guys capable of playing the middle. Although I did read somewhere that a few scouts thought RF might actually make a better Will linebacker in the pros with his speed and range.

I can see it. I feel like he's a must draft player if he's available when we pick. You can't pass him up. Anybody who watches college football and has seen Alabama play can't help but notice Foster being around the ball at the end of every play...normally making the tackle. I'm just imaging the speed of Foster and Anthony both on the field at the same time. We haven't had that much speed at LB'er in decades...if ever.

It appears we are bringing in Ginn as a stop gap for trading Cooks to NE for Butler. They better do their "Jason David" homework before Cooks walks.

I agree. He's at the top of my wishlist. Barnett or Jamal Adams wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

Broncos signing Cowboys guard Ronald Leary | ProFootballTalk

If Leary is getting nearly 9M per, expect the Zeitler deal to exceed 12M a season or so.

Normally I'm not a "pay the man!" Kinda guy, but I'd make the exception for Zeitler. Make it happen Loomis!

[QUOTE=AsylumGuido;739387]I was about to point that out. One of Cooks' main gripes was being used too much stretching the field. Ginn would gladly do that AND be the return man we need.[/QUOTE

Problem I have with Ginn is he is 122 years old. He imo is overrated as a returner at this point in his career and he has always had a problem holding on to the ball. Klein has always been a backup and played avg filling in when Luke was injured. What is with these 4th tier signees?

Fairley signing will be huge for the draft. With a solid guard and de we could go bpa in the draft. LF7 anyone???

next Micah Hyde baby.

The #Jaguars are closing in on a deal for former #Texans CB AJ Bouye, per @JamesPalmerTV and me. They are bringing it.

I'm sure he will. I think he finally got his head and ass wired together from his Detroit days.

Sigh. Not crazy about this right now. Guess we'll see what all is involved in the deal. I'll support Butler with all my heart if he becomes a Saint, but I still would've rathered picks..

Yeah, the one persona Samuel Jackson gets old; it's like Robert Deniro, when you start watching it's like, 'sh*t, I got sucked in again to the same ole sh*t, same act, same character'...

I mentioned Ginn a few days back. He will keep defenses honest over the top and is a great returner. I see no issues with this.

He can play the Henderson role of the 09-11 offense.
