    The New Orleans Saints are looking to replace tailback Lynell Hamilton, who was waived/injured on Saturday after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Wednesday. "We are currently looking," Coach Payton said. "It's not something that we decided we are going to wait on. The question is can we find the right player and do we have to wait if we can. So we are current looking right now, though. I wouldn't say we are staying pat. We just haven't signed anybody in the last two days. Hopefully we are able to get someone in here that we have a high enough grade on."

    Awesome. Too bad LT signed with the Jets already. Either way, I hope our defense improves a bit. I was worried watching preseason game number 1, even though we came back and made a game of it late. Can't wait til Regular season!

    i feel ya man.....regular season can't get here quick enough.

    speaking of LT.....when i was at the brees book signing in San Diego there was a lady there that works with LT's mom talking about how close we were to getting him but the chargers wouldn't allow it.....lol AJ Smith

    Wow. that sucks. lol. I would've liked to have him in New Orleans. But, Pierre is nice, and I know we need a short down back still. I don't see why we can't try to hand it off to Heath a bit more in those situations as long as he stays healthy.

    Looks like that's out the window. Westbrook signs with the 49ers.
