New Orleans’ defensive line. In the course of just a few days, the Saints have done a nice job of solidifying their defensive front. They signed defensive end Alex Brown to a relatively reasonable (two years for roughly $6 million) deal and defensive tackle/end Anthony Hargrove, whom the Saints feared losing as a restricted free agent, signed his tender. The Saints still might add a defensive lineman or two in the draft, but that’s no longer a big priority. Brown gives the Saints a defensive end who is more consistent than former starter Charles Grant. Hargrove probably could challenge for a starting job next to defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis and he also could probably challenge Brown if the Saints let him focus totally on playing defensive end. But Hargrove might be best as a super sub. His versatility and talent basically gives the Saints a fifth starter on the defensive line.
Since scoring a touchdown and helping the New Orleans Saints win Super Bowl XLIV over the Indianapolis Colts in February, T.F. South graduate and star running back Pierre Thomas has been busy.
“I was on ‘TMZ’ (with Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian), hosted a victory party with teammate Lance Moore in Las Vegas and was on ‘Jimmy Kimmel (Live!)’ twice, once in a skit and once on the actual set of the show,” Thomas, wearing a big smile, said.
Tuesday night, Thomas and many of those friends packed Popolano’s Restaurant in Lansing to raise money for his favorite foundation, “Dreams for Kids,” which helps spread awareness for those in need. Its slogan is “Changing lives, one kid at a time.”
The New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement with free agent defensive end Alex Brown, team spokesman Greg Bensel and Brown’s agent Joel Segal confirmed.
Segal said it’s a two-year deal.
Brown played with the Chicago Bears for the past eight seasons.
Brown, 30, was a fourth-round selection by the Bears in 2002 out of Florida. He was scheduled to make $5 million this season.
In Chicago, he played in 127 games, including 107 starts, totaling 483 tackles, 43 1/2 sacks, five interceptions, 16 forced fumbled and 11 fumble recoveries. He also blocked three kicks.
Last season Brown had 39 tackles, six sacks, two pass breakups, one fumble recovery and five tackles for losses. He started every game.
Former Bears defensive end Alex Brown was signed by the Saints. This is a major signing by the Saints. Alex Brown is going to look great in the Black and Gold.
Remember how Brown harassed Brees through out the 2006 NFC Championship game in Chicago.
Here is a highlight video from college, notice the hit he lays on Tee Martin. Reminds me of another Gator who plays for the Saints.

The New Orleans Saints announced today that restricted free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove has signed the qualifying offer the club had tendered to him and will return to New Orleans for the 2010 season.
Since helping the New Orleans Saints win Super Bowl XLIV, Pierre Thomas has enjoyed the spoils of victory — and rightfully so.
He participated in a victory parade through downtown New Orleans that drew an estimated 800,000 fans, attended the NBA All-Star festivities in Dallas, and visited the bright lights of New York City, Las Vegas and Hollywood.
But to Thomas, there’s no place like home.
That’s where he was headed Friday, finally, to visit family and friends for the first time since the Super Bowl. To top it off, he’ll throw out the ceremonial first pitch for a Chicago White Sox game Thursday night in U.S. Cellular Field.
“I can’t wait to do that,” Thomas said Thursday night, flashing his infectious smile. “I have to get my arm warmed up.”
Super Bowl champion Will Smith, the former Thomas R. Proctor High School star from Utica who helped the New Orleans Saints make history with their 31-17 victory over the favored Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, returns today for his nonprofit’s organization’s second annual “Evening of All-Stars.”
Smith, a six-year NFL veteran at defensive end and one of the Saints’ captains, and his “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way” foundation will be honoring the Observer-Dispatch’s All-Mohawk Valley Football Team during tonight’s dinner at Daniele’s Banquet Facility in New Hartford.
Doug Marrone, the head coach of Syracuse University’s football team and a former Saints assistant, and former Proctor and University of Pittsburgh lineman Penny Semaia will be the guest speakers.
This will be Smith’s first appearance here since the former first-round draft choice helped New Orleans capture its first Super Bowl title Feb. 7 in Miami. Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente also has proclaimed today as “Will Smith Day” in Oneida County.
Question: How has your life changed since winning the Super Bowl?
Naturally Chef Who Dat, who hands out his satirical fliers directed at the day’s opponent before each game to his fellow seatmates in Section 641, wanted to be in that number when the Saints unfurl that flag. But now it appears the kind of emphasis on excellence that helped land that once unthinkable banner will leave Chef Who Dat’s alter ego, Xavier professor Ross Louis, and possibly 1,199 of his closest pals on the outside looking in this fall.
Utica native Will Smith, a member of the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, was honored Thursday by Oneida County.
“Will Smith of Utica has shown greatness as an outstanding football player with the world champion New Orleans Saints of the NFL, building on a career that began here in Oneida County during his days at Utica’s Proctor High School,” Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. said in a proclamation naming Saturday as “Will Smith Day” in Oneida County.
Smith is in town this weekend for the “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way” Foundation’s second annual Evening of All-Stars dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday at Danielle’s Banquet Specialists on Seneca Turnpike.
