Can Former Eagle Dhani Jones Soar as a Saint?




He may be most likely to win best dressed in the NFL (click here for images of Dhani lookin supa-fly) or most likely to conduct an orchestra, but when it comes to keeping opponents from creating more holes than Swiss cheese, does Dhani (Pronounced: dah-HA-nee) Jones have what it takes?
The linebacker, released by the Philadelphia Ug-les after a less than stellar season in 2006, signed a one year contract with the Saints. Last season, the LB tallied .5 sacks, and 76 total tackles (assisted and unassisted.) And in the categories of forced fumbles, interceptions, and tackles for a loss...well let's just say his stat sheet looks more like Britney Spears' dating history...nuthin but zeroes!
Still, Sean Payton sees something in this 7 year vet that might help take the Saints "D" to the next level. Jones is expected to back up starter Scott Fujita ((or as we like to call him, VA-JITA!!) Jones not only has the potential to add depth to the linebacker corps but he could also fill in the fashion gap left by the departure of Joe Horn. Dhani designs and sells his own line of bow ties.
And let's keep it real, he's easy on the eyes. Alas, these Black and Gold Babes are in it to win it.
So if Dhani isn't pulling his weight come October, the former Eagle can feel free to migrate right back to Chilly Philly. Besides, we've got enough eye candy on the team. (We're talking about you, Reggie!)
