Since Aaron Kampmann was signed by the Jags there are now two players I'd like to see the Saints sign: LB Will Witherspoon (could play either SLB or WLB) and DT Maake Kemoeatu.

Was getting on to post the same thing, as is James Hall coming in. Personally, to have both of them on one year/ two year deals would be awesome. Has Leonard been at a Pro Bowl level since the DUI Manslaughter? Also Jamal Williams will plug up our Run D from day one.

I think J. Williams would be a great fit. I agree that he would plug up the run very well. Little on the other hand not sure he has done much in a while. But i guess as a rotational guy he would be ok.

Hopefully we can come away with Jamal Williams, through a lot of last season we struggled greatly with the run... A lot of that can be attributed to having injuries with Sedrick Ellis & Scott Fujita both missing time... but regardless of their presence we still have some issues against solid Power running games... and having a big run stuffer is so important in this division with facing Atlanta & Carolina.

I would say it also has to deal with the fact that someone we sign cant exceed a certain amount of money, since we was one of the last four right? But if we get either picks or our RFA, I would be really happy, and having Sharper back is icing. In the draft I really believe we won't stay at 32 at all.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Eagles have agreed to terms with running back Mike Bell on a one-year deal worth $1.7 million. The offer includes $500,000 in guaranteed money.
The deal also includes incentives that could push the total value to over $2 million.
Because the Saints tendered Bell at the lowest level, they have only a right to match the offer -- and they'll get no compensation if they don't.

I was thinking... we need a OLB... why not try for Thomas Howard from Oakland. We would have to give up a 2nd, but he would be worth it. Incredible speed and power, he would fit nicely into GW attacking scheme.
But then I think about how I don't have a say in the matter, and that makes me sad :(

New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove intends to sign his tender on Monday, according to a league source.
Hargrove was extended a third-round tender by the Saints worth $1.226 million in 2010, giving them the right of first refusal on any offer. Teams have until April 15 to sign restricted free agents to offer sheets.
In mid-March, Hargrove visited the Detroit Lions, who are considering an offer for the versatile lineman. However, Hargrove has told others he plans on signing the Saints tender on Monday, which would negate the possibility of Detroit signing him.
The Saints have no interest in dealing Hargrove, who overcame personal problems to become a valuable performer in their Super Bowl run. Hargrove is likely to end up as New Orleans' starting left end, and also play tackle on pass-rushing downs. He has a close relationship with several coaches on staff and has been in contact with team officials in recent days
Anthony Hargrove just signed his tender with the Saints. Detroit had been muling an offer sheet for the D lineman.

rad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports a league source said DE Alex Brown will visit the Saints on Tuesday and more trips could be in the works for him.
The Saints are seeking a defensive end after releasing former first-round draft pick Charles Grant. They were reported to be interested in James Hall and Leonard Little earlier in the offseason. Hall re-signed with the St. Louis Rams.
The Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also believed to have interest in Brown. The Bucs use the same defensive scheme and had hoped to sign Aaron Kampman in free agency. The Panthers are going to try to replace the richest new Bear, Julius Peppers, by committee and Brown could be a big part of that committee if he heads there.

Defensive end Alex Brown agreed to terms on a two-year contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Signing aging linemen rarely works out well, but Brown's solid reputation remained intact last year in Chicago.
He will help the Saints defend the run at a clear trouble position on the team. We still expect them to draft a defensive end early, but Brown makes the need less desperate.

the value will be even better if the vikings take tebow. That would basicly just leave mccoy as a qb that can be picked. For the saints (or colts) it would then become an ideal situation as their pick would increase some in trade value probably since trading down about 10 spots to that range with the raider, browns, jaguars, bills where one or two of those teams also sincerely need a qb after the first

Yep, I was hearing the same thing as well but that rumored died down weeks ago.
I think on the surface it was going to be Patrick Robinson & Jammal Brown for Albert Haynesworth & Rocky McIntosh.
Seems like the deal would have made both teams immediately better.

No kidding! Who was the loser who failed to pull the trigger on that one.

I really did not think Sharper was going to re-sign with us.
Are the contract numbers out because it really seems like he had no other options.

I knew he was coming back. He said he wanted to be here, and didn't seem sincere in his other visits, he was just posturing.

I don't see it like that at all. It's a one-year rental, when Sharper is done after next season #27 will move to FS.

#27 will already move to FS prolly but we are set with the starting corners, nickel corners and either young or jenkins can be the dime whilst the other mans fs. In my book it makes no sense wasting a first rounder on a guy who is somewhere low in such a rotation.
edit: for instance I dont see how robinson is going to have more of an influence in the upcoming 3-4 years than a guy like brandon ghee would have, and he could have been drafted in the third

He was, to our FO, the second best corner in the draft and the value they got for him at #32 was not going to be passed up on regardless of what anyone else thought about it.

I agree, they drafted BPA and stuck to the draft board no matter what there needs were. The next magnet up was the one they called out. I think all our picks had good value. Sure I wanted our needs filled but im not mad about our draft at all.

IF there was no option to trade down(they were trying to, allegedly), who exactly should we have picked wicket? The LB targets were off the board.
It could have been far far worse, trust me. Robinson is extremely talented anyway.

id have taken kindle in that situation, but my issue is mainly that I flat out dont like robinson as a prospect. I have severe issues with his lack of tackling ability

Robinson is a much better tackler than Tracy Porter was coming out.
They were worried about Kindle's knee obviously. If he needs microfracture he's done for the year, and may not regain his explosiveness.

very much disagree on that point. porter was maybe even less physical but didnt totally miss on tackles

We had him for the preseason last year. he is ok. I still think LH will win that third spot.

I'm not too fond of either Hill or Hamilton as the bruiser/short-yardage back. I could be proven wrong but I don't think their the answer.

Jahri Evans has agreed to terms on a seven-year deal worth a whopping $56.7 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Big money deal but he is the best G in the NFL.
