METAIRIE, La. -- When the New Orleans Saints signed former LSU safety and local icon Tyrann Mathieu last week, I wrote that it’s not often a team makes its biggest splash of the offseason in May.
Well, they just did it again with Friday's news that they are adding former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry -- another former LSU star and Southern Louisiana native who fills a big need.
Fans around New Orleans have lamented for years that the Saints don’t sign or draft enough talent from nearby LSU.
