Oh, hi, former Buffalo Bills cornerback Jabari Greer. Welcome to the New Orleans Saintsโ€™ defensive unit. Iโ€™m Nola Chick, the head chick in charge of Chicksinthehuddle.com, the unofficial โ€œofficialโ€ voice of female Saints fans.

Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re well aware of our defensive problems...particularly in our secondary. As our new cornerback, all eyes will be on you and your $23 million contract. We have the utmost confidence youโ€™ll earn every penny of it.

But in the event you lose sight of whatโ€™s expected of you, we decided to draft a few helpful guidelines.

1.) Youโ€™re only allowed one burn for a TD every six games.

2.) You get one unsportsmanlike conduct penalty per season

3.) You get one excessive celebration penalty every eight games.

4.) Every Tuesday during the season we post a column called โ€œHit it and Quit it.โ€ Itโ€™s not advised you make a habit out of appearing on the โ€œQuit Itโ€ list as things have a tendency to get ugly.

5.) Youโ€™re easy on the eyes. If youโ€™ve got a nice body under all those layers, shirtless pictures are both appreciated and strongly advised.

6.) You must grant us at least one interview. Itโ€™s part of the hazing process.

7.) Serious injuries are forbidden within your first two years so itโ€™s best you condition your tush off this offseason.

8.) If you do get burned, we implore you not to pat your chest and nod your head in the official โ€œthatโ€™s on meโ€ gesture. We know itโ€™s on you. We were watching it. With that said, itโ€™s also required that you donโ€™t pull an Aaron Brooks and giggle while walking off the field after doing something bad.

Well, I think that about covers it. Welcome to the Big Easy!
