Re: Saints bring in veteran offensive lineman Orlando Franklin for a visit: source
So just for the heck of it... Here's Walter Football's take on the Franklin signing:
Saints sign G Orlando Franklin (1 year): A Grade There are no financial details available yet, but I'm going to assume that this 1-year deal isn't worth more than a couple million dollars. If so, this is an outstanding acquisition. Orlando Franklin is very talented; he signed a $36.5 million contract two offseasons ago with the Chargers. Unfortunately for Franklin, he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Things could change for him now that he's on a new team with a different training staff. If so, he can be a big upgrade over Andrus Peat at left guard, which was looking like the one dubious spot for New Orleans up front, assuming first-round rookie Ryan Ramczyk isn't a bust. Having talent on the offensive line is extremely important in the post-CBA NFL, and Franklin certainly brings that to the table. Whether he can stay healthy remains to be seen, but either way, it doesn't appear as though the Saints are taking any sort of risk. |

Re: Saints bring in veteran offensive lineman Orlando Franklin for a visit: source
Danno said anybody worth their salt knows that there isn't anyone worth a damn out there on offensive line.
That was before we signed this guy... There couldn't possibly be anyone else out there right?? The though is just ludicrous!!!! |
