Ya know initially the Rob Ryan decision at DC scared me a bit, but i'm becoming more and more of a RR fan, he's already paying dividends, and might still pay some more if Nnamdi comes in...

I'm getting very excited to see our new D this year... I think we could have an absolutely great year. Man i can't wait!

Less money and a nice lunch with Mickey (In the team cafeteria)...Win. Win. It truly is all about the food.

Victor Butler: "All I Want is a Chance to Compete"

More from that article... call Mickey "The Closer".

“Lunch with Mickey was phenomenal,” said Butler. “I know it was a business lunch, but it was more of a personal talk. Mickey asked about my family, my background and how I liked New Orleans so far. He really took the time to get to know me as a person and I respect that. When you bring somebody into an organization you want to know what kind of person they are.

“I know Rob Ryan well and I am familiar with his scheme, but after sitting down and talking to Sean Payton and the other guys I felt it was a great fit. "

While visiting the four different NFL cities, Butler said he kept thinking about one factor that would narrow his decision.

“The chance to come in and compete is all I wanted in this free agency opportunity,” said Butler. “After sitting down and talking with everybody, I felt like my best chance to compete and be a part of a winning team was in New Orleans.”

imagine butler, tez, and junior on the field at the same time, with a DC that knows how to disguise blitzes.

&#8220;The people seem all about their Saints in New Orleans,&#8221; said Butler. &#8220;They are a lively bunch of people that want to have a good time and watch good football. I can&#8217;t wait to be a part of it.&#8221;

I like this guy.
