Reading my fantasy team notes I saw this little gem:

Dec 13 Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints DE Darren Howard (knee) did not play in the team's Week 14 game due to a combination of a chronic knee issue and a disciplinary action. Howard's production has dropped off some this year, especially his sack total. With the continued emergence of second-year DE Will Smith, Howard will certainly not be retained by the Saints in free agency after this season

In another short article, Saints coaches said they believe big Will is as fast as Freeney but stronger and will be a major player for years to come for them.

Way to go, Will.
