Detectives obtained surveillance footage from the casino that matched the victim's account of events. According to the police report, Kamara pushed the victim and another male in the group punched the victim in the face and knocked him against the wall. Kamara then punched the victim several times.

Three others in the group then joined in, stomping on the victim's face, chest and legs. The victim, who was knocked unconscious, had an orbital fracture to his right eye and other minor injuries, according to the police report.

A lot of people think the Saints might be a sleeper team to reach the Super Bowl this year. They have M. Thomas coming back, they drafted Olave, and signed Landry. Winston was playing pretty good before he got hurt last year and he is returning. Their defense is excellent.

I think the Saints would be in the market for a RB should Kamara face a lengthy suspension or be put on the Commissioner's Exempt List. I wonder if we could trade them D'Ernest Johnson in exchange for something decent?


When we re-signed Johnson to the one year deal, it was mentioned by a couple posters that a trade situation (in general) was probably the reason and in the making. It would be too bad to lose him as a speller and insurance, but I'm hoping - like you - that we might get something decent in return if it happens. Johnson has some pretty good tape for interested teams to watch.
