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….

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. Source: Pro scouts around the NFL reportedly "love" free agent RG Louis Vasquez. ESPN AFC West blogger Bill Williamson considered 25-year-old Vasquez the Chargers' "best offensive lineman" in 2012, and Pro Football Focus graded him as a top-13 overall guard. Vasquez, at 6'5/335, is a particularly effective pass blocker. He could be viewed as a better fit for left guard on the open market. Source: ESPN.com Thu, Feb 7, 2013 12:21:00 PM I just do not get it. Contract loaded with insensitive and bonuses ? I just do not get it. |
