I'm pretty sure that Marcus Davenport will get to test the market after we offer him a fair market contract. If he takes it and goes somewhere else then we finally get something for him with a compensatory pick. It's not the ideal scenario after using two first round draft picks on him but it's probably the best we can do.

Read an article yesterday on the "possibility" of Davenport ending up with Demeco out in Houston. Imagine him turning Marcus D into a 10+-sack DE

.

Boy, that would be a terrible look for Dennis Allen.

Yes it would. But that may not be the only thing that makes Dennis Allen look terrible. Have you checked out his play calling?

The Saints have had a pretty solid defense since Allen's return. I'm not sure that Davenport having success somewhere else would necessarily reflect poorly on Allen.
That said, I would hate it if he were to become what the Saints and their fans have been expecting for the past few years on a team other than the Saints.

I'm speaking in terms of individual production. Is Allen and his staff really getting the most out of these players? I never saw anything new (just a bull rush) in his repertoire over the last 4 years. IMO he looked uninterested at times.

2022 for Marcus was below average.

The lack of consistent production has always looked odd to me.

I agree. You'd think for a year as important as the last year on his contract he'd perform at a higher level.

Highest graded pass rusher on the Saints.

Unfortunately, that's not saying a whole lot on Sundays.

The Saints were dead last in pass rush win rate for 2022.
