Talons sign new FB, Larico Stevenson to New Orleans

A few notes from yesterday's transaction wire.

Other than the known transactions (Donovan Morgan to Philadelphia, Jeff Hughley to Jacksonville, Carlese Franklin to New Orleans), I noticed that Talons DB Larico Stevenson has been signed by the New Orleans Voodoo. Stevenson was a core member of the Talons defensive backfield for most of last season. However, at the end of the season he lost his starting spot to Roddie Amadi.

The Talons did end up picking up a new FB:

FB/LB Sam Maxwell 6’2 235 5/13/87 Kentucky

What this means for last year's FB Odie Armstrong is still unknown. However, from talk from his wife on Facebook it is unlikely that he will return to the Talons next year.

EDIT: After some more research it seems Maxwell was a LB at Kentucky, so more than likely he will continue to play defense over offense for the Talons. My mistake, trying to get the story up before work.
