I would go after this guy (Francois) in a New York minute. He would add a forceful presence to our line.

No question about it, but they do need cheap and at least relatively proven depth guys like Johnson in addition to adding a true NT to partner Bunkley.

Johnson took a fair amount of snaps last season, and he did have to take on some double teams in the process. Although I might not be the most objective evaluator of his performances - I do think he and Hicks were the best DTs the Saints had last season, especially when considered what they were being paid in comparison to Ellis and Bunkley.
