Saints looking for defensive playmakers in the offseason
http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW...?mode=nfcsouth
We hear the Saints’ front office was keeping a close eye on two defensive players in the Super Bowl: Indianapolis’ Dwight Freeney and Chicago’s Lance Briggs. Freeney and Briggs are set to become free agents in the offseason, and we hear they are exactly the type of defensive playmakers that the Saints covet. While the Saints advanced to the NFC championship game with a bend-but-don’t-break defense, we’re told they realize they need to acquire an impact defensive player who will force turnovers to take the next step. Landing Freeney or Briggs, two of the biggest names on the free-agent market, would be a dream scenario. More likely, though, the Saints will hold on to their top free agent, DE Charles Grant, because there are few upgrades that will be available, and will try to acquire a marquee linebacker and cornerback through free agency and/or the draft. To free up the necessary salary-cap space, we hear the Saints may release veteran WR Joe Horn, who is in the midst of a six-year $42 million contract, and CB Fred Thomas, who struggled in the postseason vs. Eagles and Bears receivers. |
