I was listening to a radio talk show yesterday afternoon, I'm not sure who it was because I found it in the middle of the conversation, but this guy was supposedly someone who knew the Saints Organization. He was saying that Samuels was a very high possibility. He didn't go as far to say that it was a "done deal," but he did say that it was a very high probability. He also said that Michael Turner was another who the Saints were targeting. He said they are very high on him and talked like he was gonna be the starter. He never mentioned Deuce much so that concerned me.
This guy also said that the Saints really thought they had Zach Thomas and they were disappointed when he signed with Dallas. He said they are targeting Vilma and other LB's, possibly Briggs, that were to become FAs on Friday.
As for WRs he never really mentioned any big names. They are expecting Meachem to be ready and if not they will need a legitimate #2 WR. He said they don't plan to re-sign Devery Henderson.
Now what surprised me was he didn't talk like they just wanted one of the big name guys, but all. He said they want to make it known they are serious about building a contender. He said they plan on being one of the top teams on a shopping spree this FA period.
Anyway, alot of this has been discussed numeroous times, but I just wanted to share what I heard. The guy may have been full of it for all I know. I wasn't picking up the station good and like I said I didn't hear the name of teh show or the person talking. I didn't recognize the guys.
