re: Saints pursuiing Asomugha ("Have to beat out 49ers")...

I'm most excited about Lewis being a real possibility. If ya aren't familiar my outline would be-

-3rd Rd pick by Steelers
-brought along slowly as the Steelers often do
-had some nice fill-in work for Polamalu when injured
-took over as fulltime starter last year
-he'll be 27 this year entering his prime

Had a very solid season as reflected by PFF FA CB ratings here

One good season isn't the track record of some other free agents. But that is a benefit to a cash strapped team like the Saints. One more year like last year and he would be getting elite out of our reach kinda money. Always a possibility he could give a little hometown discount as well. He sounds excited to visit.

Infusion of a not old up-n-comer at an affordable deal would be a 5 star signing IMO. Love signings on the upside rather than the downside hoping they can recapture a little of the past.
