See Chris, I like this visit; now, throw in Kruger and going into the draft we'd look like this on the defensive line...

DE (2) 94 - Cameron Jordan, 77 - D.J. Pettway, 76 - Mitchell Loewen

DT (2) 98 - Sheldon Rankins, 93 - David Onyemata, 92 - Justin Zimmer

NT (2) 90 - Nick Fairley, 95 - Tyeler Davison, 96 - Ashaad Mabry

DE (2) 99 - Paul Kruger, 00 - Alex Okafor, 58 - Obum Gwacham, 61 - Royce LeFrance

And if Onyemata progresses, or if Zimmer or Mabry could show something in the offseason, Onyemata could always kick out to one of the DE spots...

And that's before we draft anyone!

Ugh, you beat me to it!!!! At 30 he could be a valuable backup and a stop gap in case Brees leaves or retires next year.

Low risk/high reward. Worked with Nick Fairley.

Young kid at a cheap price. Win/win imo

But is he any better than Cool Hand Luke?

Probably not. But I seriously doubt Brees will step down for another three or more years ... unless it is with a second Super Bowl MVP.

Doubtful but he is 6 years younger

Good points but ...
I'm probably in the minority here but I don't think Paul will be part of the plans in NO for 2017. Simply didn't have enough of an impact on a bad defense.

We need an upgrade.
