The Saints were expecting to host free agent DT Jamal Williams for a visit and contract negotiations today.
Williams never got to New Orleans.
The Broncos offered $7 million guaranteed and $16 million over three years and Williams signed. Denver also picked up ex-Patriot and LSU product DE Jarvis Green today.
QB Drew Brees played with Williams in San Diego and publicly recommended him yesterday.
Another free agent remotely linked to the Saints, ex-Charger RB LaDainian Tomlinson is set to visit the Vikings.

The Saints apparent interest in signing a big-bodied run stuffing tackle suggests Payton isn't satisfied with Remi Ayodele. If you watch the nfl.com video from the Super Bowl with Scott Fujita miked and sounds from the sidelines, you'll see evidence of this dissatisfaction. Late in the game, Payton is encouraging some members of the D-line. He slaps hands with two of them. Ayodele is right there, puts his hand out, and gets nothing. He actually slaps his own hand. Watch it and see. It's pretty telling. That and the fact that he didn't get many snaps in the game, even late when Hargrove hurt his foot.
