Top Ten FA List [Updated]

01 LT Jermon Bushrod
02 OC Brian De La Puente
03 FS Jarius Byrd
04 OLB Brad Jones
05 NT Chris Baker
06 LB Paul Kruger
07 RT Andre Smith
08 NT Aubrayo Franklin
09 SS Kenny Phillips
10 WR Julian Edelman

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
 

#8, Aubrayo Franklin makes more sense to me now & I still like #10, Julian Edelman.

Franklin would be well worth getting now.Sign a 1 year deal for under $1ml last season.Would at worth be good rotation allowing us to sort other areas for a year or two.

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
 

Get the feeling that someone other than Greg Williams wanted Abrayo Franklin when he was signed two years ago...

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
 

Most chatter seems to be that Dolphins will not let Jake Long leave and that his recent injuries or just a blip...

Thought we could draft (steal) Fisher, but he's busting out in a big way this week, and so we may be stuck overpaying for Bushrod even with Graham's contract on the horizon...

Erik Walden and Connor Barwin both intrigue me, and should be cheap.

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
 

I like Barwin... but I don't see him leaving Houston unless we overpay.
