Free Agency

Showtime5 · 01-10-2014, 03:48 AM

I know it's early but any realistic free agent targets from other teams you guys think the Saints should target ?

I think Hakeem Nicks would be a great pickup. He would serve as another strong receiver to complement Marques and Jimmy. He has had a down year, so hopefully we could get him on the cheap.

Far too expensive and far too injury prone.

Evan Dietrich-Smith, the center from Green Bay. I also wouldn't mind to see Johnathan Goodwin back in a Saints jersey.

Both are upcoming FAs.

While also trying to be realistic with my wishes, I would say that this team would be greatly set up going into the draft if we managed to grab 2 FAs out of the following guys (In descending order):

Jared Allen DE MIN:
I could see him taking less $ to get one last SB chance. Can you imagine the pass rush with him and Cam Jo?

Walter Thurmond CB SEA:
Pair him up with Keenan Lewis and you have a fantastic young, physical CB duo.

Kenny Britt WR TEN:
Has all the talent in the world but motivation is key. Who are better motivators than Payton/Brees? Could be a steal because I could see many young teams not willing to risk the headache.

Anthony Spencer OLB DAL:
Had a down year but did well with Rob Ryan. Could come with discount after ending season on IR. Could also see him taking a pay cut to play for contender.

James Ihedigbo S BAL:
Would like him in the Black and Gold if we choose not to reup Jenkins.

Good list. I was just talking about Thurmond. Spencer would be a good move too. Britt? **** yeah. I like everyone on the list.

The FS from Buffalo, Byrd, he will more than likely want big money.
