2021 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

T-Rex, third on this list, will be missed; it's now or never for Davenport as he, Granderson and Turner have some big shoes to fill...

All four (4), or more, of our DEs must step up; and it'd be nice if Ryan Nielsen, Brian Young can get Tanoh Kpassagnon's game turned around as well...

Whose big shoes? I believe that Hendrickson was in the perfect situation to succeed short term. I'll bet those shoes suddenly become several sizes smaller in Cincy (like his arms). I'll wager he had his "heyday" in the Big Easy and from here on out he'll be relegated to being a role player again. Now others can take advantage here in New Orleans.

I agree.

I don't think he'll ever eclipse the season he had with the Saints.

I'm not saying that to downplay his potential, but I think this was a classic case of a contract year performance bump.

Short arms or how he does in Cincy isn’t the concern. He produced pressure on the QB totaling 13+ sacks. Those are the size thirteen and a half shoes needed filling.

I don't see why being a fan is something that needs fixed.

And there is no doubt that there are feet ready to fill those shoes. I have little doubt that the combination of Davenport, Turner, and Granderson will have most everyone forgetting about that small blip of success that Hendrickson had on the Saints' radar.

That all seem very reasonable to me. I also expect a good deal of Turner in the rotation, along with Granderson.
