Sounds like a deal isn’t going to get done. Kind of strange.

Here's one take on the issue:

Quote:

Marcus Williams, S, Saints: Set to earn $10.612 million. It was a surprise when the salary-cap strapped Saints could tag Williams, which underscores both the gymnastics New Orleans' front office is capable of and how low the tag is for safeties. Eight safeties earn at least $11.25 million per year, with newly signed Justin Simmons sitting atop at $15.25 million per. So Williams can wait out the market this year, hoping Tyrann Mathieu or others get new deals that push a stagnant safety market upwards and help him get a bigger deal in free agency.

Report: Marcus Williams, Saints unlikely to beat deadline for long-term deal

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ong-term-deal/

Per Underhill : "Deadline to sign Marcus Williams has passed without a deal, per source. Saints made a strong offer but they’ll have to wait to try again".

Can't blame Marcus and agent waiting for a more favorable cap year - he's the most underrated player on this Saints defense...

Well, at least we know he will ball out this year looking for a big payday!

Speaking of the franchise tag, Brandon Scherff is on tag #2.

Kind of surprised by that one, especially after Ramz got paid.
