Agreed. Also I think that especially on defense that we're going to need to pick up a couple of top tier free agents. They need to be top tier not only because it raises the talent level, but because it erases all doubt about them hitting the field.

Last season the Saints picked up 3 decent mid-tier defensive free agents (Simmons, KK, Clancy) that were rarely seen on the field. Most would argue that each played better than the starter in front of them.

We cannot have any more redshirt years on defense. The Saints need to sign top level guys, pay top level money, and get that talent and leadership on the field on the defensive side of the ball.
