LB McKinnon interested in Saints

What struck me most about the story is it appears the front office is still actively pursuing players behind the scene. Judging from his comments I don't think he'd just mention the Saints unless he'd already been in contact with us.

McKinnon or Hardy? It doesn't really matter to me. At least the front office is targeting a weakness. These guys may not be the Hartwell's or Pierce's of the free-agent LB's but I believe they could certainly help us out, and wouldn't cost us the ability to re-sign Deuce, Bentley, McKenzie, and Brown to long term contracts.

I like the idea of signing a quality veteran who has a year or two left in the tank. Its all the time we need for Watson/Bockwoldt/Fincher/Allen to fully develop at their positions, or at least it buys us time to determine if they ever will.
