Saints DE Trey Hendrickson is going to 'be an attractive free agent for anyone,' GM Mickey Loomis says

If Marcus should move on, I'd look at drafting another safety.

There is some talent in this years draft (kid from TCU & Pitt) class that could be had. Potentially another Antoine Winfield Jr. out there. IIRC he went in the 2nd … immediate impact player for Tampa.

I've been reading up on Safeties. There are several appealing products available if we want to draft a wide ranging, speedy, sure tackling safety then this looks to be the year to do it. I'd rather go O-line in the first though to open up the running game more and keep the pocket clean for whoever takes #9's position.

Good Safeties tend to have greater longevity; Marcus came out of the gates performing at a high level (PFF grade of 90+ as a rookie for what that's worth)...

Don't know why we signed or are keeping Malcolm Jenkins; I'd rather put Gardner in a position to make even more plays; should P.J. re-sign he'd be a solid nickel and great flexible depth...

Malcolm Jenkins is costing us $9M against the cap, re-work his contract and let Gardner prove he's expendable...

That money could've been used toward T-Rex and Mr. Marcus...

Damn.

Some have speculated that his asking price will start at or around 10+M per. If in fact Trey does sign elsewhere, I'm not mad at him.

I suggest we DO move on from Marcus. Since we'll be getting 10+ compensatory picks next year, we'll have a chance to reload and cut salaries for cap space.

Any picks we do get will be docked by the NFL due to Paytons continued stupidity.

Comp picks are capped at four, aren’t they?

Yes. I pointed that out earlier in this thread.
