WLB Scott Shanle was limited by a shoulder injury in the Saints' Week 14 win at Tennessee. Shanle didn't start and only played sparingly as his lingering shoulder issue nagged. He didn't record any tackles yesterday after racking up six and a sack in Week 13.

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.
