In three seasons, he’s notched 51 tackles (34 solo), five sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and 12 special teams stops.

Saints Nation: Saints Top 10 Worst Free Agent Pickups in Team History

Via The Saints Nation  |  March 08, 2013
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. You think Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins look bad? Tebucky Jones...

I was glass half empty yesterday, so we'll go glass half full today. Here are my top 15 free agent signings in team history. There was just too many good ones to stop at 10.
