When he does he does a solid job any where they put him. I always like the guy back to his college days.

I'd go after RFA Kiko Alonso and give up the 2nd round tender. We should've scooped up ILB Jordan Tripp before the Packers did - he also will be a RFA.
Two down thumper? AJ is a three down LB and does really well in coverage at either OLB or ILB.

Alonso? so you want to roll the IR dice and a 2nd round tender? got a bigger set than I do. way to much risk to begin with. I may bite. But toss in a 2nd and I am out

Now, if we do need a short-term rental at Safety, how's Seattle's FS Jeron Johnson, Carolina's Colin Jones or even getting Raph Bush back at around 1.5 to 2 mil per year?
I am looking at upgrading safety depth with a player that is a proven special demon.

Keep
Kenny Vaccaro,
Erik Harris
Vonn Bell

we will see
Roman Harper
Jairus Byrd,

The rest can walk

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Kuhn, Snead, Fairley and Moore should be absolute priorities to resign.

I would try to get Evans back on a deal like the one he has had this year and then let any comers try to beat him out.

I like Hightower but I think we should try to get younger on the position. And call me a homer but I'm dreaming about a guy that used to play in purple and gold...
