2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

He nothing more than a camp body. If he somehow makes the team it means he deserves it. We'll have 90 players that will be shooting for those 53 spots.

Former Chargers inside linebacker Manti Te'o is close to a deal with the New Orleans Saints, a source told ESPN's Dan Graziano.

A contract could be signed by Tuesday, the source said.

The Saints have already signed one inside linebacker this year, giving A.J. Klein a three-year, $15 million deal. But they are apparently seeking more depth and upgrades throughout their defense, which coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis labeled as a top priority this offseason.

The Saints' embattled defense showed signs of improvement last year in Dennis Allen's first full year as defensive coordinator. But they still finished 27th in yards allowed and 31st in points allowed. Last year's starting middle linebacker, Craig Robertson, played well, but he could be moved outside.

The Chargers traded up in the 2013 draft to select Te'o in the second round out of Notre Dame. He has made 34 starts in 38 games, recording 221 tackles, 2 interceptions and 1 1/2 sacks.

In 2016, Te'o suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 3 against the Colts and was done for the year.

Te'o, who turned 26 in January, has missed a combined 26 games in his four previous NFL seasons



He wont be on much and likely an amount that can be absorbed if cut. He is worth a look. He was decent 2 years back and still only 26

Are we gonna field 4 MLB's this year?

[Danno]

He did play for Nolan a couple of seasons ago, so there's that I guess.

[saintsfan1976]

Low risk. If he doesn't work it it won't cost us millions for a change.

Manti of the broken heart T'eo had played for Mike Nolan in San Diego...

Here's the thing, really good position coaches like Nolan, like to bring in "one of their guys" when they're trying to install a new program for a position including calisthenics, drills, film study, etc as that guy can help the others transition quickly to how that position coach likes positional practices "choreographed" if you will...

In a 4-3 Defense, usually you have four (4) OLB and three (3) ILB on an NFL roster, the fact we have four (4) signals competition and can be a feint for the draft...

Stephone Anthony must be really bad.
