OLB (3) 53 - Zach Baun

What are the chances Zach is traded in 2022? It's becoming apparent he isn't a "fit" in New Orleans. Good special team player, however, he's a liability in coverage. Now he has the 5th rounder De'Marco Jackson breathing down his neck for reps.

Year #3 could be ZB's last in New Orleans.

You think someone would give up a pick for him?

Possibly but not likely. He's clearly not a fit in the Saint's defensive scheme.

If you were the Saints in dire need of as LB, would you give up a pick or wait to scoop up a player on the cheap. Baun is a backup at best, IMHO.

Juwan Johnson is probably the guy I'm most confident in of this bunch.

Vannett needs to stay out of the medical tent in 2022.

Taysom Hill probably won't be ready for action until mid/late November.

Vannett may be a casualty this year. He's yet another TE we signed that simply didn't pan out.

We'll see what plays out between the three FAs, Krull, Warring, and Holtz. I am pulling for Krull.

Good stuff ^^.

Justin, Sorensen & Smoke will compete for those 2 remaining spots.

Talent is not an issue with Justin, it's the injuries.

Does it help that he's a former Aggie (Dennis Allen's school) ?
