2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets

Might could pick up Richard Seymour cheap. He's 33 but was playing well until his hamstring injury. Raiders won't re-sign and he might have 2 good years left in him. He had more sacks in 8 games than Ellis and Bunkley had combined in 16.

That just might work. I like it.

Announced today that the Chiefs will keep the 3-4 defense...

How does this affect the Saints?

Glenn Dorsey, who the Saints had coveted, may just want to move on as he was better suited to a 4-3 defense which the Saints currently employ...

Yep, he is NOT a 3-4 DE or a 3-4 DT.

The guy is a 4-3 DT all day long.

You get a rotation of Bunkley/Hicks with Dorsey/Johnson, now that could be something with a younger, faster starting defensive end on the right (maybe Martez)...

Interesting

The case against signing Jermon Bushrod...

First, asking price will be too high...

Second, the position is in need of upgrade/better play...

Third, Jimmy Graham will need to be resigned...

Fourth, how much will be committed to the offensive line?!?

Fifth, Saints Offensive Protection is based around the guards and Brees' read/release speed, not the tackles...

But Bushrod is our best downfield blocker on screens which is a really big weapon for us with PT and ssproles.

I am totally in agreement about his down field blocking. He does well there, but pretty much sucks at everyting else.

Loomis has to get with owner and decide how many contracts they'll convert (ie Brees, Evans, Grubbs, etc) to singing bonuses so the Saints can not only get under the salary cap, but make moves in Free Agency...
