New Orleans Saints Sign RB Julius Jones, S Matt Giordano; Release John Carney and Waive DeShawn Wynn

PrintAdam Schefter was the first to let the world know that running back Julius Jones has been signed by the Saints this afternoon...
Saints signed Julius Jones today.
Get ready for a big "I told you so," from coldpizza.
I guess that means Pierre Thomas, or Reggie Bush for that matter, aren't going to be ready as soon as we had hoped. It may also mean that Payton isn't as pleased with the two running backs he has in the stable right now, Chris Ivory and Ladell Betts.
Hmmm...this is interesting, because didn't Sean Payton say just yesterday that he was okay with the current running back situation? Why, yes, I believe he did...
These are guys that we have a lot of confidence in. I felt a week ago that Ladell played very well. He had the one fumble yesterday. I thought Chris ran hard yesterday. We'll keep coaching them. These are our guys. There's no one walking in here to save the day on the street right now.
Wow, is Payton good at lying or what!? Just further proof that we should never believe a word the man says.
There may be some confusion about the Jones signing, however, as Grandmaster Wang has already proven...
Didn't that guy do that "Right Here Right Now" song that pissed everybody off in 1991?
No. That was Jesus Jones.
UPDATE: We have now also learned that the Saints have signed safety Matt Giordano, who last played for the Falcons, as well as the Colts and Packers.
And to make room for these two new players, the team has released veteran kicker John Carney and RB DeShawn Wynn. Guess that means Hartley officially has his job back, which is good in these tough economic times.
**Shout out to CSC member Joseph William Stern for being the first to put this up and AKAY47 for doing the same, only slightly later.**

I saw AKAY47’s fanpost first. That’s why JWS’s fanshot has no profanity on it. My apologies.
But… MICKEY>>> GAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
And gave the impression that I did not care,
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the despair.
It's not a race!
But I was first!
Snap, place, kick! And it's good! It's good! It's goo-hoo-hood! Pigs have flown! Hell Has frozen over! The Saints are going to the Superbowl!

Pierre could still play this week.
The question is who was released to make room for this washed-up has-been? Well, I guess another question is WHY?

washed up has been?
As a Dallas Cowboys fan I am deeply offended by that comment…how about switching it to a never was.
I think I'd rather have Jesus Jones
Seriously…I mean, I guess he doesn’t fumble, but he doesn’t get any yards, either.

I'd rather have Jones the cat from those creepy Alien movies.

That sccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttt that you're hearing
Is because you are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Seriously, this guy wasn’t as good as Chris Ivory when he was at Notre Dame.

ROSTER UPDATE: The Saints have signed free agents S Matt Giordano & RB Julius Jones; Released K John Carney & waived RB DeShawn Wynn.
So, Mickey… You prefer JU-JO over DeShawn Wynn?? GAAAAAAAA!!!!

But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the despair.

Matt Giordano-DB- Saints Oct. 12 – 5:23 pm et Saints signed S Matt Giordano. Giordano can be badly exposed in coverage, but he’s essentially found a role as the league’s floating special teamer. Giordano has floated around the league, filling in whenever a team needs a special teamer in a pinch.
And gave the impression that I did not care,
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the despair.

Matt Giordano was most recently with the Falcons (2010) & Packers (2009). He’s obviously special teams help.

All this means is that Pierre won't be ready to go Sunday. If LaDell Betts were to be cut, then it's a different story..
Saints always have problems with injuries, they make them seem like they’re nothing when clearly they’re serious injuries. Thought PT would be back against Arizona, guess not. Julius Jones signing clearly means PT is out vs the Bucs, huge blow.
Their injury reports are so misleading lol, it's ridiculous. Everything is kept as a secret, I bet Robert Meachem is still hurt.
Will Smith probably just got surgery lol
No
He’s wanted to see this signing for a long time.

Yeah, but
I recall CP implying that Jones would be a good signing, not just that we would sign him. The jury is still out on if jones will be worth a damn. I’m gonna go ahead and publicly say he sucks and will continue to suck. This is nothing more than an extremely desperate move on mickey’s part.

He has better career statistics than Mike Bell and that’s as a member of less productive offenses. That’s an upgrade, imo.

That’s not the way it’s worded in the Accountability Index, btw:
CP thinks Julius Jones will be a Saint, let alone be signed in the nfl, in 2010
If Jones’s effectiveness was in question, then it should have been included. As is, such drivel must be rendered ex post facto.
