Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

The New Orleans Saints are now entering the next “phase” of their 2016 Off-Season, which includes this coming weekend’s Rookie Mini-Camp (May 13-15th), OTA offseason workouts (May 24-26th, May 31-June 2nd , and June 6-9th), and a mandatory Mini-Camp (June 14-16th).

With Free-Agency and the 2016 NFL Draft behind them, the Saints have addressed most of the “holes” on their roster; by adding former Indianapolis Colts tight end Coby Fleener three veteran linebackers that included former L.A, Rams All-Pro LB James Laurinaitis, and veteran defensive tackle Nick Fairley in free agency; and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and wide receiver Michael Thomas in the Draft.

But — that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re done adding talent to the roster. They are still a few holes remaining on the roster, and there are also several NFL veteran free-agents out there who remain unsigned.

The Saints have added veteran free-agents to their roster after the NFL Draft several times over the most recent years.

In 2014, the Saints signed two veterans in June: center Jonathan Goodwin (who became the starter), and defensive tackle Brandon Deaderick (who became a part of the defensive line rotation).

Last year, they signed a handful of five veterans, that included two of them who spent the entire season with the club: guard Mike McGlynn and defensive tackle Kevin Williams.

So – are there any other additional veterans remaining out there that the Saints could target?

This morning, we’re looking at a few possibilities, starting with this guy….

Some interesting options there
Wouldn't mind giving Moore at shot. Get him on a cheap 2-3 year deal

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Bring back Moore.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

^He was not talking about Lance.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

guard Louis Vasquez

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Kick the tires on Neal or Moore.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Lions are going to release Tulloch, adding him in with what we have at lb. would help out and be a good rotation. I like Vasquez also. I don't know if either would come cheap.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

I'm still available.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Damontre Moore was signed by the Raiders a little earlier today...

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Really? Not even an UDFA nibble?

Chloe may dump your ass if you don't up your game dude.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Yeah, until I get drafted I'm putting my love life on hold, or at least I'm putting something on hold. :clown:

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

I can lock down the WR's the same way Browner did last year. And for half the price. :)

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

-5.5 million in the hole now. Unless the brees deal comes through soon we wont even have the cap room for our UDFA's.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Link?

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

We've already signed 15 of the 19 udfas on the list; plus three draft picks

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

I heard 2 million under, but I don't recall where. Nfl radio I assume, but I could also be spitting in the wind...

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Looks like lions may just keep Stephen Tulloch.

Louis Vasquez is a bit of a mystery. A few years back he was a hot commodity on the FA market. Now he is still out there. If there is some reason behind the scenes i do not know about, I do not get it.

Here is a player with a Prove it Contract written all over him.

Broncos signed OG Louis Vasquez to a four-year, $23.5 million contract.

The deal includes $13M guaranteed. The Chargers claimed that retaining Vasquez was a priority, but they never proved it with a contract offer. San Diego let the second-best guard available hit the market and he strengthened a division rival. A top-13 overall guard last season according to Pro Football Focus, the 6'5/335 Vasquez is especially effective as a pass blocker. He'll be as asset in the Broncos' quest to keep Peyton Manning upright. An impressive Vasquez stat: In 3,435 career snaps, he has been called for just one penalty.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

Lions just traded a 7th to the Pats for Bostic. Tulloch will be released.

Panthers release cornerback Brandon Boykin - NFL.com

In my mind, BB is a very good nickel corner. To be released by the Panthers so early, something could be up with him.

Re: Remaining Veteran Free Agents Saints Could Target
 

We will come away with another piece just like we did last year with Williams. There is some pretty good talent out there. The question is why are they available? Is it because of the cap? Have they lost that step or never lived up to their potential?
