I was looking at a list of potential free agent DTs and found that Casey Hampton was on the list. I know he is quite old(35), but he has spent his entire career playing in the 3-4 and for a successful franchise as well. I also don't think he would cost a fortune to sign as his career is coming to the end. I think he could help with the transition and also provide solid leadership for the team. This would allow us to have a smart vet who can hopefully be like another coach for our DL in regards to their responsibilities when playing in the 3-4. What do my other Saints fans think of this?
 
We need depth behind Bunkley (who, based on his cap numbers, would be stupid to cut). Then bring in a rookie from whatever round...then we will be looking pretty at NT.
 
no, he has performed poorly according to pro football focus, but the other young guy that is also a free agent for them has done well, going after the young guy is what I would do. have to look up his name.

Al Woods? Hope not :covri:
 
he would provide solid back-up for bunkley. hampton has been very injury prone over the past few years.but not having to b the man in the middle could help him stay healthy. sign him
 
pass..doesn't make sense to have two decently payed NT's on the roster. Supplement bunkely with a late round draft pick instead of another verteran....or a younger player.
 
I'd rather Aubrayo Franklin. He's familiar with us n we're switching to an alignment that he's prolly more suitable for. Besides, he did much better than Hampton this past season

He's been playing 5 tech for the Steelers and has done pretty well as a backup. Much better than he did as a 4-3 DT with the Saints.

He will retire IMO.

I agree. The Steelers are gonna let him go and he's probably gonna retire. Call it quit's and retire a Steeler. He had a great career.
