Re: 2016 Saints Free Agency
I think some of the bigger names are off the table for us due to the cap.
Here is my list of guys I would be taking a strong look at by positional needs we have: Offensive Line: J.R. Sweezy - Seattle - like his tenacity and has gotten better over the year Ron Leary - Dallas - he's pushed out of their starting rotation and may not want to be a backup. He's decent but was he made better by surrounding talent? Wide Receiver: Chris Hogan - Buffalo - tall target with decent hands. Ricardo Lockette - Seattle - odd man out and I always thought he had good versatility and explosiveness Rishard Matthews - Miami - a very decent 3-4 receiver. Has upside. Defensive Line: Vinny Curry - Philadelphia - goot rotational guy Malik Jackson - Denver - gotten better as the season has gone on and has upside still Olivier Vernon - Miami - great bookend rusher opposite Jordan. He got better when Wake went out which impressed me. Would be a higher price though. Pass rushers are hard to find. Linebacker: Bruce Irvin - Seattle - more than I would want to spend but this guy is explosive and a splash player who can do it all. Brandon Marshall - Denver - will be overshadowed by Travathan in free agency and may slip under the radar. Special Teams: Greg Zuerlein - St. Louis - would be an upgrade at Kicker and has a big leg to keep kick off duties unlike most kickers we have had. |

My preference is for Trevathan, but if Marshall is there, that wouldn't be a bad pickup... Do we really want any of the Cowboys castoffs?!? |
