Randall Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Was just coming to post this... I've been watching hoping Green Bay signed him. Nice hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Totally underrated DC judging by how often the guy has moved around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 If successful he could leave soon for a HC position. I hope we can find someone who'll be around for a few years too(and successful). If it's McDermott maybe he can bring Brian Dawkins with him?

It's always a nice way to retire unless you can do it twice like Elway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballjoe Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I could see Marcus Washington signing with the Saints when the redskins release him. It is my belief Washington will be released due to his high cap and injury problems. He is a pretty decent player when on the field. As far as Williams goes he did a very nice job while being the Redskins DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thought this was an interesting tidbit regarding the Williams hire... It was even easier to understand why the Saints wanted him so badly to run their defense. And make no mistake, the Saints desperately wanted Williams on board. So much so that Coach Sean Payton reportedly surrendered $250,000 of his annual salary to sweeten the pot for Williams. As part of Williams' deal, the club agreed to hire his oldest son, Blake, who will join the coaching staff in an unspecified position. Williams admitted the latter was key in his decision to join the Saints instead of taking similar offers in Green Bay or Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
