Tight end Delanie Walker, San Francisco

Walker is an emerging tight end who showed signs of being able to flourish as the team's No. 2 tight end. Playing behind Vernon Davis for much of the past seven years, Walker has caught 123 passes for 1,465 yards and eight touchdowns. At 6 feet and 242 pounds, Walker isn't an imposing figure, but he has proven capable of playing many roles in the 49ers' offense, including lining up a as an H-back.

Why the Saints should sign him: The Saints are thin at tight end after they released veteran backup David Thomas earlier this offseason. Walker could serve as a reliable backup to Jimmy Graham and can help at times as an H-back/fullback.

What could keep the Saints from signing him: After playing behind a star tight end, Walker may be ready to become a starter in the league.

Tight end Martellus Bennett, NY Giants

Bennett should draw plenty of interest on the free agent market because of his ability to contribute as a blocker in the run game and as an intermediate receiver in the pass game. The 6-6, 245-pound Bennett is coming off the most productive season of his four-year career, catching 55 passes for 626 yards and five touchdowns, all career highs.

Why the Saints should sign him: Bennett, a former second-round pick, is talented player who would easily fill the void left by Thomas.

What could keep the Saints from signing him: Like Walker, Bennett may not be desirous of playing on the shadow of a superstar like Graham.
