Corey has been racking up the travel miles this year. San Fran Cleveland and the jets. FA 2017

Both are square pegs in round holes of a 3 defense. Both were 43 DE in college. Jones went to OLB and Corey packed on the weight and stayed at DE in 34.

Prove it one year contract for both and see what happens back as a 43 DE. might help in getting a solid rotation at the least on the cheap

A.J. is my #1 breakout/risk player in FA. I truly think he is ready to become a solid starter. At the very least he can play all 3 positions at a high level and offers flexibility the saints need at LB till the holes can be plugged. I think he will be part of the solution.

I can agree about the rush being better but looking at the whole season or half the season it's still missing the pressure needed to put them up there in the good catagory. I may be the minority here but another good NT to go along with Davison and I think our interior is set possibly for years. I think with this move alone improves the unit as a whole. Adding a MLB like Klein and bringing back Anthony to the middle should shore up that position, Ellerbe and Stupar are fine, Robertson slides back outside and draft a stud OLB would be perfect at how I look at it. I still think getting rid of Kruger would be a huge mistake. I'm all in for trading Vaccarro, drafting another SS to plug in from day 1 and use that pick on a CB. I pick up a CB in FA and the draft, I also resign Moore, he played well in my opionion he's not made of glass like the rest of them. I highly doubt it goes this way, but hey, I'm still trying to fix this 28th ranked D the best I can?

I dont know who we should get, but we should try to dominate both lines of scrimmage. However we can be most successful doing that is what is best

I'd pass on Shields. Another Swann (multiple concussions) case.

There are better options out there.

From reading some of the interviews from Dre', it wouldn't surprise me if he took a discount and stays put in Cincy.

I still like Trumaine Johnson, Logan Ryan and of course AJ Bouye.

I can see Bouye getting a non-exclusive tag, he had a great season. One.

Now is Ryan the same corner outside the Pats system, front seven? Legit Question.

Johnson is intriguing, but at what cost? If Saints target a FA CB, Trumaine's probably it...

Payton really made effort to get a taller CB for matchups, enter Kirkpatrick as FA option...
