Drayton Florence in the NFC South?

He is also an ex-Charger. They seem to work out well for us.

very good corner, whos not comanding much money..... Would be terrific depth without breaking the bank. Would you make this move?

HMMMM....Last time we got somebody from Buffalo he was a beast. Enter Jabari Greer. Maybe the Greer Florence combo would be a nice fit?

I don't know, 33 y/o and only made four appearances last season having had issues with his hamstring.

He has nice size, but I'm wary of him in all other aspects.

There will be lots of vets sending up flares before the season starts.
I'm with nicebush25 on this one, I wouldn't spend another dime until Brees was locked.
Then I would fish around for what I could snag with the leftover nickels and pennies.

agreed breess first and then go for cheap butt vets out looking for work maybe

After all, we're talking about the 4th/5th CB. That should be a vet minimum player. With all the young guys on the roster we may already have our 5th CB, and maybe even our 6th if desired.

I hope you're true, and I do think that they have some promising young guys and it'll be an interesting fight between them for the roster spots for sure.

Still, a lot is riding on Patrick being able to fill Porter's shoes, but I did like what I saw out of him last season, so hopefully he'll be a happy surprise this coming season - the Saints could sure use one of those.
