Re: Official Re-Signings- 3 players - Saints.com

What a stupid, ridiculous comment. Jones is far from awful at his job and his kicking efficiency is no where near as bad as people make out. He is tough, quick, runs all day and was very good this year and absolutely deserved another contract.[/quote] I'd add that since he was rookied at age 23 he's...

Getting Dermie to the Saints would be a huge boost to our club. It would be the better than getting a president with a high pubic profile IMO.

Does anyone know one of the coaches, or Ledger, and can tell us why he doesn't get selected? (Instead of just guesses and rumours.) pr...
