According to NOLA.com Free agent defensive end Corey Wootton is visiting with the Saints on Wednesday, a source said.

Wootton, a fourth round draft pick in 2010, was last with the Minnesota Vikings, where he played 15 games last season. He had 16 tackles and one sack in 2014.

More depth. May the best man win.

I like that we keep looking. All needs cannot be adressed in the draft.

Yeah typical what we do... fill the roster and then draft BPA

DL depth? saints with a rotation? no way.

Gotta replace Tyrunn Walker and we don't want to rely on the draft.

We are filling holes so we can go BPA. We'll see what happens when we hit camp.

Late 20's, can play DE/DT. Injury prone. There may be some more left in the tank, at least as a backup. His days of starting though are over.

Should have signed Walker... Going to regret letting him walk just like Tom Johnson.

If anyone cares this may explain why he's still a UFA.

PFF ranking:

Corey Wootton rated -14.9 on 276 snaps.

Only 2 players who were FAs rated lower than him.

Well he's just visiting. Maybe he stopped at the gift shop and went about his merry way.

ANOTHER PIECE TO THE PUZZLE

I was actually pretty surprised the Vikes didn't re-sign him because he looked good in their D-line rotation.

might be a good example of a player listening to his agent too much and over valued his worth in the market place. Now with the bottom falling out of the FA market he is left scrambling and looking for the best short term offer out there.

I fear this too, I really felt like he was about to start coming into his own

He is nearly as good as that kid at the Masters who had a -16, I think
