After getting on the same page with defensive end DeMario Pressley late last week, New Orleans has come to an agreement with place kicker Taylor Mehlhaff and receiver Adrian Arrington.

Mehlhaff, the Saints' sixth round draft pick, is the first kicker selected by New Orleans since the franchise took Morten Anderson in 1982. Those are some big shoes to fill, but he has a history that says he could do it.

He hit 50-of-65 career field gals, going 21-of-25 as a senior, a year in which he was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, given annually to the nation's top collegiate kicker.

Arrington, New Orleans pick in the seventh round, comes from Michigan where, as a junior, he was named the Desmond Howard Award winner as the team's top receiver.

In 35 games, he caught 109 passes for 1,438 yards and 16 touchdowns.

You can probably guess the top two.

Also, and not surprisingly, it is fairly well established now that Houston made a wise choice when they picked Mario Williams over Reggie Bush with the top pick in the NFL Draft. Williams checks in as the 6th best player overall.

What say you? What kind of impact does Bush have to make this year for him to continue to be a favorite?

Head coach Sean Payton apparently stressed, however, that OTAs are voluntary and Colston likely has a good excuse.

Honestly, I don't find anything malicious or ill-willed here by Colston, even if he is in a contract year. He has been at most, if not all of the other OTAs and minicamp. He's allowed to miss one in my opinion.

Vice President of Player Personnel Rick Mueller is no longer with the franchise as it's "restructuring" the Player Personnel Department.

The club also hired Khai Harley to become the Director of Football Administration. Harley's previous job was with the league as the manager of labor operations with the NFL Management Council.

According to the release the Saints sent out, "Harley's primary focus with the Saints will be managing the salary cap, and his responsibilities will also include contract negotiations, coordinating different areas of the football operations and being involved in the administrative functions of running the club on a daily basis."

General Manager Mickey Loomis, in getting rid of Mueller and the Player Personnel Department as we know it, said it was a tough decision. He noted that under Mueller the franchise drafted running back Deuce McAllister, wide receiver Marques Colston and defensive end Will Smith, all of whom were pretty key in New Orleans' 2006 NFC South title as well as its run to the NFC Championship Game.
