Rumor: Saints are interested in Denver LB Ian Gold (1 Viewer)

[workhorse]

Here's another oft injured, underperforming LB on the market for us to convice ourselves that we must trade for.

per Draft Daddy:

"Linebacker Ian Gold is being shopped by the Denver Broncos and New Orleans and Cincinnati seem to be very interested."

If true, I think we are starting to see a trend - beat up, cheap bandaids for our pourous defense.

 

[Pdlc]

Draft daddy at it again.

 

[St. David]

we are starting to look desprate.

I don't even want this guy, I know we all hoped that we would be active this offseason.... but wow.

 

[lilvipa221]

i would take him over dan morgan anyday, sign him up.

 

[Saintsphere]

Him? Morgan? My goodness. No wonder we constantly have revolving doors at the Linebacker position.

can somebody help me out on how he is a bad idea?

He just hasn't put up the best numbers.

Pickings are rather slim this year. I smell disappointment board-wide.

i can telll you that he is better than any of our backers.(including fujita)

He would be better than Dan Morgan.

 

[DrudkhFan]

Would it be in a trade or in FA to get Ian Gold, I don't know if we should give up a draft pick for him.

He plays WLB.

So is Fujita-Morgan-Gold better than Fujita-Simoneau-Shanle? I'm not so sure.

Now, Fujita-Vilma-Gold/Shanle looks better, but is Vilma healthy? And what draft picks are you giving up to get Vilma and/or Gold.

I have a feeling we will be disappointed with the LB's we get before the draft, but since we are a BPA team, we have to fill the void with someone. Let's just hope we keep some draft picks to get some beast LB's in the early rounds.

Right now, it would be a trade. and he's due 3.25 million in 2008.
