It looks like James Laurinaitis will be selling his Missouri mansion after all.
The Los Angeles Rams, who drafted Laurinaitis with a second-round pick in 2009, released their captain and all-leading tackler in February to clear salary cap space. It didn't take long for the Big Ten champion and Pro Bowler to find a new home.
Laurinaitis is headed to New Orleans to team up with Sean Peyton and Drew Brees, according to this tweet:

Laurinaitis finished 2015 with 61 solo tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble. He played with the Rams throughout his previous seven years in the NFL.
The New Orleans Saints finished 7-9 and are in need of the defensive help. In 2015, their defensive gave up 413 yards a game, second-worst in the league.
