Updated my favorite targets for the Saints' Top Ten Free Agent Targets:

1. RG Kevin Zeitler, 27

2. CB Trumaine Johnson, 27

3. LB Melvin Ingram, 28

4. CB A.J. Bouye, 26

5. LG Andrew Norwell, 25 (RFA)

6. QB Brian Hoyer, 31

7. DT Nick Fairley, 28

8. CB Sterling Moore, 26

9. WR Willie Snead, 24 (RFA)

10. FB John Kuhn, 34 (signed) :bng:

Disclaimer: Again, don't expect to sign all from the list, but three or four of the top 6 would be great...

Signing three of the top five and our key returning FAs would have me ...

1 A.J. Klein MLB/OLB
2 Micah Hyde DB/PR
3 Johnathan Hankins or Nick Fairley
4 Kevin Zeitler RG

Spoiler: The writer also seems to think the best spot for Melvin Ingram will be the New Orleans Saints...

I hope not. Money would have to be right, scheme switch concerns me.

JeanPierre, you are my go to guy when I want to know about players that would really work for us, but you've finally lost me at Hoyer. Are you thinking backup with this guy or replacement? He does seem to have about two great games a season in him, but...

Johnathan Hankins looks shaky Ceuz and Jenner just released.

That is a great list with substantial talent that we so desperately need.

I too question Hoyer. but I don't follow him so I'll trust your evaluation but that seems early on a wish list.

In my opinion Snead needs to be in the top five but if we get a deal done I'm gonna' be happy.

AJ Bouye has been a favorite of mine but the more I read about him the more I hear that he is wildly inconsistent, even though he played well this year.

I absolutely want Zeitler but he may price himself out of our range. Not even a mention of Leary? I do not know if he plays LG or RG. Currently we are in the market for a RG while Peat plays at LG.

Texans not likely to franchise AJ Bouye ...

NFL GM's hesitant on paying A.J. Bouye big money

Backup, definitely; good football IQ, scrappy, competitive...

But the operative word is not replacement, it's transition...

He's a good quarterback, he's just not been with the right pro coaching...

Or OL. I thought he was pretty good when he was with MSU. He seemed to have a way to get his team to really believe in him. I do wonder if the pros have knocked that out of him yet.
