Haven't heard any new specifics on who the player might be

At first, I was kinda undecided on D Williams...but if he is healthy and ready to play and not too high of a price, Id say bring him in.

"In Washington, it's nothing left me to prove, It's not about the money for me at this stage in my career. It's about winning. I hope to help a team win rings, and that's what I'm looking forward to. Going in onto someone else's team and not having to be worried about Portis, Portis, Portis, and just to be able to contribute in any way I can, that will be a wonderful thing." - CP

With Clinton Portis released by the Washington Redskins and Tommie Harris cut by the Chicago Bears, ESPN NFC South blogger Pat Yaskinkas says both players could find a home with the New Orleans Saints.

Yasinkas says the Saints have a hole in their running back rotation. "Chris Ivory will be back and Reggie Bush probably will be back," he writes. "Pierre Thomas is likely to leave as a free agent and that means the Saints need someone to go in their rotation with Ivory and Bush."

He also thinks Harris would look good in black and gold. "The Saints have Sedrick Ellis, but not much else at defensive tackle," he writes, adding, "I'm not saying Harris will come in and suddenly be a Pro Bowler again, but I think he'd be an upgrade for the Saints and that makes him worth at least considering."

McIntosh is probably on his way to New Orleans as well once he's allowed to test the market.

It's crazy to think i've been watching him play for the 'skins for 7 years. Where does time go?

Yeah right? Seems like it was just yesterday that Gibbs came back and we made the move for CP. Time sure does fly by.

The thought has crossed my mind before about Portis going to NE. I think the biggest question is, with his attitude and work ethic, would Belicheck still sign him? He might get a little leeway if he produced on the field IN SPITE of his bad habits, but that hasnt been the case for the past few years.

Saints would be a decent choice. Pass blocking is needed there.
