Saints Nation Fans Have Spoken: Tony Gonzalez Is Tight End for the ALL NFC South Team

It was close, in fact one vote separated Tony Gonzalez from Jeremy Shockey for the Saints Nation All NFC South tight end spot. Recently added this offseason by the Atlanta Falcons, Gonzalez is not only the best in the NFC South - he's arguably the best in the entire league. Thanks for participating and please vote for the 2 tackle spots on the team (please limit yourself to two choices).

Other news:

Two star receivers for division rivals suffered injuries today as Antonio Bryant of the Bucs torn his meniscus and has been ruled out for the entire preseason (STORY) and Carolina's Steve Smith injured his right shoulder (STORY).

The Saints had back luck of their own as they decided to place Tight End Dan Campbell, who had been injured the entirety of mini-camps and training camp, on injured reserve. They also signed guard Nathan Bennett and released guard Joe McMahon.
