Saints Nation: Most Intriguing Camp Battles

Here's positions that I'm going to be...

Imagine Sean Payton holding up a Surface tablet instead of a cardboard playsheet on the sideline.
Envision Peyton Manning sitting on the bench and dissecting the last series from a variety of camera angles on his hand-held device instead of looking at still photos. Or sitting at home and pulling up real-time highlights on a Sunday afternoon.
It's coming.

New Orleans Saints Sign Free Agent DL Isaako Aaitui
The New Orleans Saints and free agent defensive lineman Isaako Aaitui have agreed to an undisclosed contract. Due to the circumstances and the fact that he hasn’t done much at all in the NFL, the deal is most likely a one-year agreement.
