Re: Free agents 2014
Update on 2014 roster, with free agency, trades and the draft upon us, this is where we are:
SAINTS PROJECTED DEPTH CHART - 2014 OFFENSE QB (2) Drew Brees, Ryan Griffin, Luke McCown RB (4) Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson, Travaris Cadet FB (1) Erik Lorig, Austin Johnson (FC) WR (3) Marques Colston, Nick Toon, Charles Hawkins (FC) LT (2) Terron Armstead, Marcel Jones (FC) LG (2) Ben Grubbs, Senio Kelemete (FC) C (2) Tim Lelito RG (2) Jahri Evans RT (2) Zach Strief, Bryce Harris, Ty Nsekhe (FC) TE (3) Jimmy Graham (Franchise, NE), Benjamin Watson, Josh Hill WR (2) Kenny Stills, Andy Tanner (FC), Joe Morgan DEFENSE DE (2) Akiem Hicks, Glenn Foster NT (3) Brodrick Bunkley, John Jenkins DE (2) Cameron Jordan, Tyrunn Walker OLB (2) Junior Galette, Keyunta Dawson, Rufus Johnson ILB (3) David Hawthorne, Kevin Reddick ILB (2) Curtis Lofton, Ramon Humber OLB (2) Parys Haralson, Victor Butler, Kyle Knox CB (3) Keenan Lewis, Rod Sweeting, Trevin Wade (ERFA), Derrius Brooks (FC) SS (2) Kenny Vaccaro, Marcus Ball FS (2) Jarius Byrd, Rafael Bush (RFA), Jordan Pugh CB (2) Champ Bailey, Patrick Robinson, Corey White, Terrence Frederick SPECIALISTS K (1) Shayne Graham, Derek Dimke (FC) P (1) Thomas Morstead LS (1) Justin Drescher, Jed Collins H Thomas Morstead PR Travaris Cadet, Lance Moore KR Travaris Cadet, Pierre Thomas KO Thomas Morstead, Shayne Graham KEY: POS (#Likely Slots) Projected Starter Free Agent Free Agent (RFA) {Restricted Free Agent} Free Agent (ERFA) {Exclusive Rights Free Agent} Free Agent (FC) {Futures Contract} Franchise Tagged/Restricted - Unsigned Observations: Jimmy won't sign till he's ready to come to camp, so no OTA's - hope we don't see some sloppy play as he returns and a possible injury with lack of conditioning... Well, how do you like us now?!? Running Backs Thomas, Robinson are only backs under contract after this coming season... Still real thin on that offensive line... Great depth at cornerback; little thin at Safety though White could be shifted there... Bailey signing may mean we withdraw matching on Rafael Bush...

Re: Free agents 2014
Updated 2014 roster, accounting for free agency, trades and the draft, nearly upon us:

Captain Obvious says we need depth on offensive line... There'll be no OTA's for Graham - he signs after the draft, if someone doesn't offer him an unbelievable deal first AND two first round picks... The secondary looks to be the pride of the team now... Running Backs have taken a hit, we'll start mining for those nuggets from places like Towson St et al FCS schools... Has it been mentioned how freakin' thin we are on that offensive line?!? Draft should yield two, if not three linebackers... Still see us taking a WR among the first three rounds... Other than OLine, we're reloaded for combat...

Re: Free agents 2014
Packers prefer compensatory picks over unrestricted free agents | ProFootballTalk
So teams are rewarded by not spending money on their free agents?!? I can see if a team lost in a bidding battle, but to arbitrarily wait for high round draft picks?!? |

The formula works for them although there is a bit of a gamble. There is no guarantee on how many, if any Compensatory picks they get, only the top 32 lost value FAs get the last team picks. PFT is sort of recycling old articles from other news sources. Compensatory picks have proved valuable to Packers |

Re: Free agents 2014
I really like the way the roster is shaping up.
A little bit of concern in terms of depth along the offensive line and the glaring issue at centre. The other issue is the receivers,outside of Colston and possibly Stills its question marks on both Morgan and Toon.Hopefully at least one of them can step up and fill a void. Leaves the front office in a good position to be aggressive to go after the best players in the draft without having to worry about many holes to fill. |

Unlike last season when he uncharacteristically said he was having restless, sleepless nights over Left Tackle, Charles Brown... |

Re: Free agents 2014
Surprised no one has asked the Saints if they'd be interested in RB Chris Johnson...

Re: Free agents 2014
I visited this thread just to mention Chris Johnson. The market on running backs has just about dried up. Wonder if we could sneak in and get him on the cheap. Restructuring a few contracts or even cutting somebody like Bunkley would give you just enough to get him something in the 3.5 million/year range which might be enough.
