Well, as you probably all know by now, Ashley Ambrose has signed with the Saints, returning him to his home town. This seems great for Ambrose, who is probably in the twilight of his career, but my question is - is this really good for the Saints?

Consider: Ambrose is a good corner, but I'm not sure if he is a substantial upgrade over Fred Thomas. It seems to me like we just signed yet another nickel guy (Thomas, Craver, Irvin, and now Ambrose), and still don't have our impact player at corner. Further, this signing seems like it makes the Saints going after Woodson much less likely. That was a deal that I felt was perfect for the Saints. A star corner, with a few years of experience, for only a first rounder. That becomes an even better deal if the Saints trade Turley for a first or early-second rounder this year. So, is this the best deal for the Saints?

The same can be said for Ruff. I like the guy and think he is a substantial improvement over Clemons. But again, is this the impact player we were all hoping for? I had my heart set on Takeo Spikes. That seems significantly less likely now.

Finally, let's hope the Aint's make a move for Chester McGlockton. He's exactly the kind of DT they need to make major improvements in that area.... But anyway, what are your opinions on Ambrose and Ruff?
