Saints Nation: Saints Pick Up DT Isaako Aaitui
The Saints landed another big body in Isaako Aaitui, who is 6'4" and 315lbs, to create depth behind Brodrick Bunkley and John Jenkins at nose tackle. He has signed a 2 year contract with the Saints for what I can only assume is the minimum. Aaitui has never played in a regular season NFL game after signing with the Dolphins as an undrafted rookie free agent out of UNLV....
2013 NFL Draft Team Needs: New Orleans Saints Edition
The New Orleans Saints didn’t do a ton on the open market, but the team is slightly better off—if anything—after about three weeks of 2013 NFL Free Agency and looks to be in better shape than at least half of the teams around the league at the start of April. Let’s examine the Saints’ updated team needs heading into the 2013 NFL Draft (in no particular order). Photo...
Saints Add DT Brodrick Bunkley To List Of Restructured Contracts
Add defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley to the list of New Orleans Saints players who have restructured their contracts to create salary-cap space in 2013, according to a league source. Like the other Saints who have reworked their deals this offseason, Bunkley will not take any form of pay cut. He simply converted base salary into signing bonus so that the Saints can spread out the...

This actually frees...
Saints Nation: Saints Lose to Panthers 38-44, Finish Season 7-9
It's hard to walk away from that game and try to come up with much that's objective or even positive as a Saints fan. The team borderline quit, especially on defense, and turned in what I considered both their worst performance of the season and their biggest implosion. After a 24-13 lead and a ridiculous blown call by the officials that should have awarded the Saints the...

Are we the only ones who think the NFL is all of the place this year in it's consistency regarding discipline?
First, Roger Goodell says he wasn't sure of Suh&...
Brodrick Bunkley won't be suspended for kicking player in the head
Looks like the NFL is in a generous mood during this Holiday season.
First we hear Ndamakong Suh gets off without a suspension, and now the league has decided that the New Orleans Saints DT Brodrick Bunkley kick to the back of the 49ers' Alex Boone does nto warrant a suspension either.

Brodrick Bunkley’s Non Suspension Suggests NFL is More Concerned With Public Relations Than Preventing Injuries
With all the talk of helmet-to-helmet hits, concussions and long-term disability, regular football on-the-field violence just seems so mundane, doesn’t it?
It’s absolutely true that concussions have become the sexy injury in sports — so to speak — and certainly the sexy topic in terms of the safety of athletes. For years there had been stories about the challenges NFL players...
Suh and Bunkley avoid suspensions
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley avoided suspension by the NFL after their game actions during this past week.
During Thursday’s Thanksgiving Game from Ford Field, Suh appeared to kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin. Suh wasn’t flagged on the play however given Suh’s growing reputation...

Saints DE Brodrick Bunkley kicks 49ers Alex Boone in the head (GIF)
This is just a terrible choice on Bunkley’s part. The referee’s saw it and he was ejected from the game, and deservedly so. I’m not sure what possessed Bunkley to do this, every time I watch it I can only guess that Boone said something to him as Bunkley was hunched over him right before he kicked him. He will probably incur a fine and a suspension of some sort.My only...
NOT VERY SAINTLY
Brodrick Bunkley kicks Alex Boone in head
In what surely will result in a hefty fine from the league, Saints DT Brodrick Bunkley did his best Ndamukong Suh impersonation by kicking 49ers OL Alex Boone in the head.

Via Doug Farrar of Yahoo Sports:With 1:13 left in San Francisco's eventual 31-21 win, the 49ers were set up to kick a 33-yard field goal, but the attempt was blocked by...
Video: Saints' Brodrick Bunkley ejected after kicking opponent in head
Is it just me or has there been a spike in unsportsmanlike behavior in the NFL this season? New Orleans Saints lineman Brodrick Bunkley attempted to one-up Ndamukong Suh's groin kick on Thanksgiving by delivering a little swift kick of his own on Sunday. Watch as the former first round draft pick takes out his anger on San Francisco's Alex Boone by booting him in the back...

Saints Nation: New Poll!
I've had the same poll up on the left hand side of the blog forever, so it's time for a new one. My previous question was regarding the Saints' new free agents, and which you were most excited about. Curtis Lofton landed 70.6% of the vote, so you the fans clearly picked him as the guy you were most excited about. And sure enough, he's the only that's really lived...
New Orleans Saints: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 6 (-1)
Record: 0-1
It’s not quite time to hit the panic button in New Orleans. They’ll get better as the season goes on. After the offseason they had, it’s understandable if they struggle out of the gate and if anyone can get through this, it’s a Drew Brees led team. However, they need to win the division to go anywhere in the playoffs because I don’t trust them...
Saints Nation: Saints New Defense Mixes a Little New with Mostly Old
When the Saints hired Steve Spagnuolo to run their defense, the major hope was that they were getting an elite defensive mind minus the pay for performance program (and perhaps more) that came with some. "Spags" brings a new scheme and mindset with him, though the term that best describes his style isn't disimilar from the previous regime: aggressive. The main difference...
Saints Can Carry Over Unused Salary-Cap Space Into 2013
For those wondering what the New Orleans Saints will do with the extra salary-cap space they carved out when they signed quarterback Drew Brees to a new contract this month, the most likely answer is: Save it. The Saints can carry over whatever cap space they don't use into next year's cap figure. Under the new NFL collective bargaining agreement that was reached last year...
Buzz: Broncos defensive line in tumult
Lots of tumult on the D-line. Warren balking at a re-worked contract, Nunnely retiring, & new coach helming a position on D for the 1st time
— MaxBroncos (@MaxBroncos) May 14, 2012
Far be it for us to expand on the excellent Andrew Mason, but he was limited to 140 characters there. Let us also consider the lack of depth at defensive tackle in general (especially if Warren...

The Denver Broncos appear set to approach 2012 with an entirely new set of defensive tackles from a year ago.
2011 starter Brodrick Bunkley is gone. 2011 starter Marcus Thomas remains unsigned and is now jersey-less. And today, one of the Broncos’ bigger rotation DT’s signed elsewhere for 2012 — even if only for ten games.
