Listening to the lunch break, according to them, he's in Dallas and were supposed to sign him by the end of the day... Anyone have more info on this?

Blurb from an article in the Daily Zone:
If the Cowboys want to add a younger player with some experience through free agency they could look at 25-year-old Gerald Sensabaugh, who started 13 games for Jacksonville last season. Adding Sensabaugh would seem like a logical move because he has been a good special teams contributor under Cowboys special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis, who left the same position in Jacksonville to come to Dallas in January. The North Carolina product has made 24 starts in four seasons with the Jaguars.

New Orleans Saints Analysis: Gerald Sensabaugh Could Fill Defensive Needs
The New Orleans Saints' defensive needs are primarily at the safety position, but now they cannot be so leisurely when going after perhaps the best safety still out there: Gerald Sensabaugh. He will be getting looked at by other teams such as the Cowboys.
They recently released safety Roy Williams and you can bet they will probably make a run at Sensabaugh. I think we would be smart to get him as fast as possible.
Sensabaugh had his best season under the Saints newly acquired defensive coordinator Greg Williams with four interceptions, eight pass defenses, 70 total tackles, and 59 solo tackles. He was a force last year and I believe the more he stays with Williams, the more he will improve.
I still can't believe that there is a hidden gem still out there at cornerback in Leigh Bodden. In the 2007-'08 season, he had six interceptions, 15 pass defenses, 88 total tackles, and 76 solo tackles.
This past season, he hit a slump in interceptions with only one. But he still caused problems for opposing offenses by forcing three fumbles, which he now has eight in his young six-year career, along with 13 interceptions and almost 300 tackles.
Given that he only started four of the six years, those are pretty good stats. Going into his seventh year in the league at the age of 27, he should fit perfectly in the Saints' new system.
But for these moves to happen they are going to have to clear up some cap room.
They are probably going to reconstruct Mike Mckenzie's contract. I don't see them getting rid of him, especially when they are trying to establish some depth at the cornerback position. You would think they would try to keep him and maybe reconstruct the contracts of our highly paid defensive ends.
In the draft, I see the Saints maybe trading down and getting a linebacker such as Ray Maualuga. Or, in an extreme stroke of luck, Maualuga's teammate at USC, Brian Cushing, so that they would have a second- or third-round pick to use on safety Rashard Johnson from Alabama.
But this is a possibility to me only if the Saints get Bodden, or, depending on how they feel about Jabari Greer as a starting corner. If they do not feel that he could be their No. 1 corner in the future, then look for them to either draft cornerback Vontae Davis from Illinois or Malcolm Jenkins from Ohio State.

Bad blurb about him:
On Friday, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Gerald Sensabaugh Jr., a Kingsport native, was arrested for driving on a suspended license. At about 1:41 p.m., Kingsport Police Officer Amanda Lunsford said she saw a black Bentley drive west on Center Street, turn onto Dale Street and circle the block. She then checked Sensabaugh's driver license and discovered he'd been suspended for "multiple violations" and failure to satisfy a citation. Sensabaugh was also found with three weapons in the car one of which was an AK-47. Sensabaugh was not charged for having the weapons in his vehicle.

I would say this might be an improvement over Roy Williams. I like the stats, I like the track background, and I like his youth. I'm suprised he is even on the market. Most guys like this come equipped with a "buyers beware." Anyone know why the Jags let him walk?cboyd;2682427 said:
edit: Nevermind, just read the above article. I'm not saying I'm not interested as a result, but I would like to hear his explanation for something that stupid. On the other hand, that is the beauty of a 1-year deal; he will be on a short leash and will have to perform and keep his nose clean to get any more money out of Jerry. The big question going forward will be if Jerry is smart enough not to hand him a long term contract after one good year, like he did with Hamlin.

I appreciate you getting the article.
I just hoped we had learned a lesson on these types of guys. One bad apple can spoil the bunch, and right now our bunch seems to be great people. it only takes 1 bad one to allow people to paint the whole as a bad bunch.
