Former New Orleans Saints defensive tackle LaRoi Glover has been elected to the Saints Hall of Fame for the Class of 2013. Glover was the lone choice of the Saints Hall of Fame Media Selection Committee.
A native of San Diego, Calif., Glover was picked in the fifth round of the 1996 NFL draft out of San Diego State by the Oakland Raiders. After one season with the Raiders and after playing for Barcelona of the World League of American Football, Glover was acquired by the New Orleans Saints off of waivers from the Raiders at the end of the 1997 preseason.
He played five seasons with the Saints (1997-2001) and amassed 50 sacks and forced 10 fumbles, averaging 10 sacks per season.

If almost makes me sad that I can't add Tebucky Jones to this list (otherwise known as "TeSUCKY") because he was acquired by trade. I remember when the Saints landed him everyone acted like he would fix the defense and instead the Saints got the most inept and incapable football player I have ever seen.

Free agency started technically in 1989 with "Plan B" but it wasn't till '92-'93 that the full blown free agency the way we know it today existed. That said, the Saints did sign some...
