Deuce re-signing w/ Saints, Chase Daniel anyone??

[Dpantherman]

from ProFootballTalk.com:

A league source tells us that veteran running back Deuce McAllister will be rejoining the Saints in time for Saturday's home playoff game against the Cardinals. The Saints could easily clear a roster spot by cutting quarterback Chase Daniel, who was signed two weeks ago for the regular-season finale, given that quarterback Drew Brees was given the day off. McAllister was released by the Saints in the offseason, and he has since signed with no one. He has a four-game suspension hanging over his head, given his membership in the StarCaps six.

not sure why they are bringing him back though...

UPDATE: 1) its official 2) Daniel will be retained. they placed a DT on IR to make room.

Another Update: Deuce will not be playing, only leading the team on the field and will be inactive.

I would give Case Daniel a look, simply because the Saints seem somewhat interested. He is like a luxury to them who they'd like to have, but not at the expense of other more pressing needs. They're probably are willing to gamble that he will still be there, if and when they decide to throw him a bone.

Sirius NFL stated they thought it was for 2 reasons.....1 Duece has meant a lot to the city/organization and are just brining him on b/c they want to do something nice for him (even though he isn't needed) and 2. The dome reaction from fans when AZ comes to town. They said they had reports it was strictly a "symbolic" move.

Maybe they're trying to give him a super bowl opportunity.

Once he's introduced pre-game, you'll understand why. If all he does is stand on the bench and wave a towel, it'll be enough.

go cardinals!!!

[rayzor]

they want to get him a ring and they think they have a chance to get him one. plus they probably think he can help motivate the players.

that's the only thing i can think of. he won't be playing.

[rayzor]

i'm sure he'll be a good guy to have around when they are picking themselves off the floor because they just lost to the cards.

he's known plenty of disappointment being a saints player for so long so he'll be able to help them through it.

Nice thing for them to do. Fwiw, he is well rested. Maybe he can grind out a few yards for the.

yep, he's got as many super bowl rings as the Panthers do!

[pantherfan81]

yep, he's got as many super bowl rings as the Panthers do!

And has played in one less.

[Dpantherman]

yep, he's got as many super bowl rings as the Panthers do!

and everyone else that has played for the Saints for the past 40 or 50 years. how old is your team???

[Boltergeist]

Scratch the Daniel idea, NO placed DT Rodney Leisle on IR.
