Bucs Releasing Shaq Barrett

Actually was considering making a thread, specifically about Pete Werner. As much as I like him, he seems to have lost a step, maybe with all the injuries, and just isn’t the same tackling machine we saw at one point. A part of me feels like he needs to be upgraded from.

I’d be down with Queen.

I think Werner is a very good player, but he hasn't stepped up to become elite. Maybe it's in part because he hasn't stepped in the the MLB role because Demario is still playing great, but I suspect that he's always going to be very good, but not elite or a playmaker. As far as Queen, it's hard to know if he could transition to the 4-3 really a 4-2-5 and the money would be a huge risk.

I could see the Saints looking to upgrade or add a player for the future at LB, but I think it likely comes in the draft.
