I found this blurb about the Saints offseason likelihood on FFMastermind.com.

The Times-Picayune reports even though the Saints are more than $16.5 million under the $80.5 million salary cap, the Saints, for various reasons, aren't expected to be big spenders this offseason. One, the market is considered one of the weakest in recent memory. Two, the club is operating with shallower pockets. And three, the roster is deeper and has fewer holes than ever. Team officials would like to find a veteran defensive tackle to complement 2003 first-round draft pick DT Johnathan Sullivan. The line is inexperienced and the coaching staff would like to add a veteran leader. With that in mind, veterans DT Brian Young of St. Louis, DT Paul Grasmanis of Philadelphia, LB Kendrick Clancy of Pittsburgh and DT Chad Eaton of Seattle are possibilities. On offense, signing a back-up for Pro Bowl RB Deuce McAllister is a priority. The Saints have expressed interest in RB Aaron Stecker, formerly of Tampa Bay. They also will consider re-signing RB Lamar Smith and RB Ki-Jana Carter, who spent parts of the 2003 season with the Saints. Still, unlike past years, the Saints aren't in the market for any of the big-ticket players who are expected to be available.
