With cuts coming up, do we have room for FA pickups?

I'd say we are pretty darn deep at a lot of positions. I guess my question is, can you comfortably say we can live without so and so to pick up a FA to make an immediate contribution to the team?

Any ILB'ers out there that can cover or at least keep up with a rb. or TE.

The only problem I see is that we to are having to cut down the roster in size, so we would have to cut someone extra to sign another player.

I wouldn't like to see them cutting depth at safety to sign a LB, Sunseri for example...

That's where we're at, even our depth is talented

The Colts have a CB Marcus Burley I would love to see us get. He's making plays left and right as a nickel/slot guy. I can only really see one scenario we bring in a corner though and that's if Champ doesn't make the roster.

colts have an UDFA DT that looks pretty darn good.

but the saints have a history of not going after new blood as a rule of thumb. they stay with what they go for the most part and that drives me nuts
