Saints and Deshaun Watson: Lots of Saints talk today. Free agency begins this week and Saints beat reporter Amie Just gets into the nitty gritty here. Meanwhile, the Saints are interested enough in quarterback Deshaun Watson to have made a trade offer to the Texans and it looks like Watson will visit with the team in the next couple days. Stay tuned for more on this story . . . And one more Saints-related item. You no doubt have heard that Tom Brady un-retired and is coming back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ugh. Of course, social media reacted as it so wonderfully does.

Fish guts and a lawsuit: A Plaquemines Parish fish processing plant that has drawn the ire of government officials and environmental groups is being accused by a former employee of dumping fish guts and feces into the Mississippi River and some nearby waterways. The former employee contends she was fired for raising concerns about the dumping and has filed suit under Louisiana’s whistleblower statute.
