Saints not interested in Russell
Despite all of the reports to the contrary, the New Orleans Saints have no interest in signing recently released quarterback JaMarcus Russell.
Some thought the Saints would be a perfect landing spot because Russell played his college ball at LSU and would be returning to his hometown.
Head coach Sean Payton said he didn’t think it was the right time for the Saints to bring in Russell, whatever that means.
Payton is probably concerned that Russell’s bad work ethic would cause distractions that aren’t needed for the defending Super Bowl champions.
I would expect a team desperate for quarterback help to bring in Russell, not one with a Pro Bowler like Drew Brees under center.
