Saints make it clear they want to keep Jermon Bushrod

FinSaint · 03-01-2013, 04:03 PM

In this NFL.com article Bushrod was ranked 44th on the available FA list:

Top 85 free agents: Mike Wallace heads best available - NFL.com

44) Jermon Bushrod, OT, New Orleans Saints: Bushrod will be the perfect test case for proving what an average starting tackle with a random Pro Bowl nod gets on the market.

I know it's just an article by the good folks at NFL.com (Gregg Rosenthal), but it has seven OTs ranked higher than Bushrod - and I don't think he's too far off in making that assessment.

2) Ryan Clady, OT, Denver Broncos
7) Sebastian Vollmer, OT, New England Patriots
8) Andre Smith, OT, Cincinnati Bengals
10) Branden Albert, OT, Kansas City Chiefs
21) Jake Long, OT, Miami Dolphins
25) Phil Loadholt, OT, Minnesota Vikings
43) Sam Baker, OT, Atlanta Falcons

I'm just worried that they'll overpay Bushrod...
