Maybe Klint Kubiak has a few thoughts about free agents he likes.

Jauan Jennings has put together an impressive resume. The Saints are hiring one of his coaches as their new offensive coordinator — San Francisco 49ers passing game specialist Klint Kubiak, in case you missed it — and Jennings should be an option in free agency. He’s one of 10 49ers free agents we highlighted as potential Saints targets. And his performance in Super Bowl LVIII was the most compelling argument yet for getting him in a black and gold jersey.

Good fit.

OL Andrus Peat

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

Peat is a player that the Saints should focus on bringing back. He is the best option currently on the roster for the left tackle position, as Trevor Penning cannot be trusted.

Peat’s potential market value at left tackle is around $4.34 million. It would be a bit of a downgrade in money for Peat, but that makes sense as he’s not a player that would have much desire around him at this point of his career.

LB Zack Baun

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

Baun had a good 2023 campaign that will earn him some money. He helped himself a lot and created a market for himself in free agency. He’s a solid rotational linebacker that will likely be on a new team next season, and systems that will let him rush the passer more often could get a bargain.

Baun’s projected value is around $4.2 million. Some other linebackers that made that much on average in 2023 were Leighton Vander Esch, David Long Jr. and E.J. Speed.

CB Isaac Yiadom

Matthew Hinton-USA TODAY Sports

Yiadom had a resurgence with the Saints last season. He stepped up big-time when Lattimore was out and beat expectations coming in off the bench. He should be a priority to bring back for the Saints.

After playing for the minimum last season, his potential market value has risen to around $3.7 million. Other players at that mark were Sean Murphy-Bunting, Levi Wallace and Isaiah Oliver.

DT Malcolm Roach

Roach had a nice season and could see a similar contract to what former Saints defensive tackle Shy Tuttle last season. Roach posted similar production to Tuttle’s last year in New Orleans, before he was signed away by the Carolina Panthers at $6.5 million per year.

OTC has Roach’s valuation lower at around $1.1 million per year. That would have him making around the same money that he has been for the last couple of years.

KEEPERS!

I'd move on from Baun, Kyle Phillips & Garcia.

Saints need better depth.

Saints need to target a DE in FA. Cam(2 sacks in 17 games) will be 35 years of age at the start of camp & is nothing more than a rotational piece at this point. Granderson is good but needs help. Foskey played in 10 (healthy scratch in a lot of games) before getting injured.

Jets DE Bryce Huff is a UFA.

NO needs serious help with the pass rush in 2024. It's a must.

Get younger & faster. I'd double down with Jared Verse @ pick #14.

BakoSaint · 02-23-2024, 08:30 PM

I could live with moving on from Baun.

I think it is really important to keep Yiadom. If we move on from Yiadom because we 'don't have a spot for him' it just shows that we are trapped in the contracts to the aging Lattimore, Maye, and Mathieu. I want a young secondary.
