Former #Jets DL Mo Wilkerson is leaving Green Bay after his #Packers visit and sources say he’s headed to visit the #Saints next. That’s an intriguing option for a rapidly improving D.

Would be awesome

If we sign him, I'd assume this means no Okafor.

Wilkerson would be a good addition if he reverts back to his play of a couple years ago. Even if his sack numbers aren't great...he should be really good in run support. He might even slide inside on passing downs.

2013 (16 games) - 63 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 3 pbu's
2014 (13 games) - 56 tackles, 6 sacks, 5 pbu's
2015 (16 games) - 64 tackles, 12 sacks, 7 pbu's
2016 (15 games) - 58 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 3 pbu's
2017 (13 games) - 46 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 4 pbu's

I wonder if they're looking at him to mostly play inside, or they think that he can be effective at RDE in the 4-3.

And the front office has earned the benefit of the doubt, but I don't particularly like signing guys before FA even begins (ala Coleman). These guys don't have much competition to drive their costs down.

We be a great get, I'm sure teams will offer 1 year prove it deal. Guy was late to practices and suspended by team. Still hope we get him he can wreck havoc in the middle if mind is in right place.

Isn't Wilkerson kind of a locker room issue? The same kind of issues we've been purging the last 2-3 seasons

Don’t really want him unless on a 1 year prove it deal.

I’d actually be in all for this.

I’m a firm believer in winning changes players and going from watching Josh McCown and Bilal Powell barely scrap by week to week to score points (let alone win games) to Brees and our boys would motivate anyone.

Said he spent his first 7 years in the league and never had a QB. He said it takes a toll on team and locker room. Said GB went good but they don’t have Dragos. So on to the saints. Said the first question he is asking today is will Drew be here next year and when is he signing. Said no Drew no Moe. Drew is the number 1 reason the saints are at the top of his list. Said he was here for Mardi Gras and hung with some of the team and fell in love with the city and the people. Said he thinks he talks about Dragos oysters in his sleep. Said he would love to play with Cam and called our D young and strong. Said got a lot of young rooks. Loves the way Lattimore plays and said AK is a beast. Said he love Dennis Allen’s style and aggression and thinks he fits in. Said he gets excited thinking about what our D has. He said after he leaves here he is off to KC. Said the new QB is the big question mark. He’s been down this road before and that they got to prove to him the new QB is legit. The feeling I got was money is important but the QB is the deal and he referred to Drew twice as a future hall of famer. I think it’s the Saints to lose. Also he loves Payton and his attitude. We talked Abita lot of other things, the league, family where were are from. Maybe I’ll add more later about that but headed to lunch with wife I haven’t seen in a week. I feel really good about this unless someone throws stupid money. The big issue is will Drew be here and how long will be a big factor.
