RB Kareem Hunt visiting the Saints tonight; Saints also working out LB Anthony Barr

Just listening to Ross Jackson, he said the team was looking for help at linebacker BEFORE the injury to Dowell. Some smart fellas in the know sure do side with the “we’re thin at linebacker” side. Lol

That kills the whole argument of only searching after injuries.

Either way, still hoping Barr is healthy and comes on back.

I've steadfastly been one of "those guys". I do have to ask if Ross Jackson is as infallible as, say, Diana Russini, though? 😉

More fairly, I think Underhill had said that the team wouldn't mind more at the position, but I think the basic NFL teamonomics still apply: Develop your own at backup for cheap, bring in vets available on the street only if and when necessary. I've seen nothing to suggest there's a starting role at LB up for grabs, no matter how much fans here bag on Baun.
