Saints re-signed WLB Scott Shanle. | ||||||
The Saints believe Jonathan Casillas is their weak-side linebacker of the future, but the 31-year-old Shanle will return as insurance. Casillas is coming off a Lisfranc fracture. Shanle is in decline, but he's worth retaining as a backup. Previously, the Rams were known to have shown some interest in him. | ||||||

Free agent WLB Scott Shanle has spoken to the Rams about lining up a visit. | ||||||
Shanle was ineffective as an outside linebacker last season and the Saints are likely ready to move in a new direction. In St. Louis, he'd be able to battle the likes of David Vobora and Na'il Diggs for snaps. Note that Shanle was originally drafted by the Rams back in 2003. | ||||||

The Saints had contract talks with free agent WLB Scott Shanle before the lockout began in mid-March. | ||||||
The seriousness of discussions is unclear, as Shanle came away from them not knowing whether the Saints want to re-sign him. Shanle was New Orleans' third leading tackler last season, behind only Roman Harper and Jonathan Vilma. | ||||||

The New Orleans Times-Picayune confirms that Scott Shanle is expected to move back to weak-side linebacker following Jonathan Casillas' season-ending Lisfranc fracture. | ||||||
Jo-Lonn Dunbar will start on the strong side. We've seen what Shanle can do at the position (68 tackles last year), and the fantasy upside isn't high as he enters his age-31 season. Consider Shanle a low-end LB3 option at best. | ||||||

Saints linebacker Scott Shanle is expected to move to the strong-side. | ||||||
His IDP value takes a hit as Jonathan Casillas will take his place on the weak-side. The Saints had arguably the worst rush defense last season, so there will be plenty of tackles to go around, though Shanle can expect to see less of them now that he's on the strong-side. | ||||||
