The NFL Free Agent Frenzy is well underway, and the Saints are major players. Apparently, the Fleur de lis Fella's are much like Elaine Benes fictional boyfriend, they're exporter-importers. Gone? Offensive lineman, Jeff Faine (to Tampa Bay for $20 Million over the first three years, $15 Million guaranteed money) and Devery Henderson (also a possibility to land in Tampa); Coming on board? Former Jets linebacker, Jonathan Vilma, in exchange for a conditional draft pick in 2009. In addition, Chargers running back, Michael Turner is in the Saints sights as is... Giants tight end, Jeremy Shockey? Yeah... so, the Saints aren't going to stand pat this offseason---and with Vilma on board, Sean Payton's first move is shoring up the defense. Smart, Sean... VERY smart.
