I believe that the Saints need some kind of difference maker at any position. Cam Jourdan is the only player on our Defense that is close to that. FA targets this offseason should be at OG and CB. FA pass rushers are usually way too expensive. Filling needs in FA has been our method in the past and I hope this continues.

Devil's Advocate on Evans- why not? He'll be 34 next season- is really going to have that much of a drop? Certainly not long term, but I think we're fine next year.

I'm more concerned with CB than DE. Look at the depth chart at the end of the year: UDFA's and journeyman getting tons of snaps.
Williams has played 2 games. Breaux played 6 last year. Swann 7 in 2 years. Stability needed
