Saints re-sign Young and Simoneau [MERGED]

The fact is you have to have a solid rotation. You can't have probowlers at every single DT position. Young gives you the pass rusher you need on 3rd downs, and he gives you a solid guy against the run to rotate on 1st and 2nd down to keep the defense fresh. DT's are very expensive and his contract was not very much at all. Hes a good DT. Hes not all-world but not everyone can be. Thomas is old and we don't even know how much longer he'll last. Keeping Young was smart from all angles.
