New Orleans Saints Sign Free Agent DL Isaako Aaitui

The New Orleans Saints and free agent defensive lineman Isaako Aaitui have agreed to an undisclosed contract. Due to the circumstances and the fact that he hasn’t done much at all in the NFL, the deal is most likely a one-year agreement. Either way, Aaitui will compete for a backup spot on the Saints roster and with enough hard work, could stick. The post New Orleans Saints Sign...

Saints Nation: Saints Pick Up DT Isaako Aaitui

The Saints landed another big body in Isaako Aaitui, who is 6'4" and 315lbs, to create depth behind Brodrick Bunkley and John Jenkins at nose tackle. He has signed a 2 year contract with the Saints for what I can only assume is the minimum. Aaitui has never played in a regular season NFL game after signing with the Dolphins as an undrafted rookie free agent out of UNLV....

Saints Nation: Who Will Be Brees' Backup in 2013?

Every time this discussion comes up, I feel it is accompanied by the caveat that we hope this player will never get to see the field. If he does, the season has no hope. The Saints' chance at success starts and ends with Drew Brees' health. But while any hope at a second Super Bowl hinges on him playing, there's a reason the Saints keep two quarterbacks on the roster...

Pierre Thomas Says The Saints’ RBs Will Have Defined Roles

The Saints are an offensive juggernaunt and have the skill players to run or at pass and be tremendously effective doing so.  With Chris Ivory in NY, the backfield is a little less crowded and will give more opprtunites to Ingram and Thomas.  Sproles seems like his role was carved out and Mark Ingram has flashed his potential form time to time.  Thomas is a very smooth runner...

The New Orleans Saints made several roster moves on Monday and it included them waiving offensive lineman Ryan Lee, who the Pittsburgh Steelers originally signed as an undrafted free agent last April.

Saints' Pierre Thomas welcomes a return to the ground game

Last season, the New Orleans Saints' rushing attack was all over the place, with no defined lead back. Four RBs spread the carries around without much success, but that's all about to change as head coach Sean Payton realizes the need to revitalize the running game. Without Chris Ivory among the group, the roles will become a little clearer, something Pierre Thomas welcomes...
