The greatest Saint to never have been a Saint
ESPN.com - NFL - Quick out: Hakim spurns Chiefs, likely joining Saints
Demonstrating once again that the long green typically trumps long relationships in the NFL, veteran free-agent wide receiver Az-Zahir Hakim on Friday afternoon backed out of a contract agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs, a deal that would have reunited him with head coach Dick Vermeil.It is believed that Hakim, who had recently visited with New Orleans officials, will now sign with the Saints.
I’m not the biggest Az-Zahir fan, but we do need a wide receiver and a return man.
