From the Saints Sideline

Saints tender LB Casillas, no movement yet on other restricted free agents | wwltv.com
Bradley Handwerger - The Saints offered a restricted free-agent tender to linebacker Jonathan Casillas, a league source said Saturday. (Know why he has to cite a league source? Because the local guys don't get s*** first, EVER.)

New Orleans Saints offer tender to restricted free agent linebacker Jonathan Casillas | NOLA.com
Mike Triplett - ESPN.com reports Casillas was tendered at lowest level, with no draft-pick compensation. (Triplett has to link to Pat Y. because the local guys don't get s*** first...EVER.)

Saints make tender to Jonathan Casillas - NFC South Blog | ESPN.com
Pat Y. - (Source material for the local guys.) The New Orleans Saints have given a tender to just one of their three restricted free agents. (brought to you first, by No.1SaintFan, who, as I have frequently mentioned as of late, is hard at work on the J-O-B)

Bountygate has Become Tiresome

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees says he didn't participate in any bounty program | NOLA.com
Mike Triplett - He wrote a letter to fans. (so take a letter Maria...address it to my wife...say I won't be comin' home...I'm gonna start a new life)

QB Brees denies knowledge of bounty | The Advocate
Associated Press - Drew Brees said he has never participated in and was never aware of a "real" bounty program, and there would be no place for players being provided incentives to intentionally injure one another in any sport. (No local writers were even needed for this story.)

Tulane Coach Curtis Johnson says he has no knowledge of any bounty program with Saints | NOLA.com
Lyons Yellin (one hell of a pen name...almost as good as this one - Tigers Growlin) - Tulane's Curtis Johnson is using spring practice to ensure his team doesn't have any surprises during the season. However, the coach himself, hasn't been quite so lucky.
