Last month, the Saints lost linebacker James Allen (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5968) for the season when he blew out a knee. They had worked a trade to acquire Miami Dolphins (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=mia) linebacker Eddie Moore (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6385), but sent Moore back to Miami when he failed a physical because of a bad knee.

Foreman has been able to stick around quite a long time for a Buffalo 5th round pick.

:bf1: Good for Foreman....He was never spectacular, but always solid...looking back, that was a trade that really sucked...we sign Eddie Robinson to take over at WLB and trade away Foreman to the Texans for Charlie Rogers...who really didn't do anything for us.

Saints excuse Watson from camp, let him seek trade

New Orleans officials have excused Watson, the team's second-round choice in the 2004 draft, from this weekend's full-squad minicamp, and coach Sean Payton acknowledged the Saints have granted the former Notre Dame star permission to seek potential trade partners.

2nd round pick from only two years ago - does 'bust' apply here?

Good for them Polley, Fujita, and Foreman are a huge upgrade from last year.
