Five pending free agents the Saints should consider signing

K Major · 02-14-2017, 05:17 PM

After three straight 7-9 seasons, the New Orleans Saints are looking to shake off the mediocrity with the help of some upgrades in the offseason. The Saints are likely to have some money to spend (around $25 million) but the team should be prudent in its search. There will be good players available in free agency that could help the squad.

Anyone who doesnt have a long track record of injuries would be fine with me.

Man, Andre Branch is starting to grow on me. Shouldn't cost much and he's in his prime. I don't think we need a superstar at that position with the heat Jordan and Rankins will be bringing.

That guy Gilmore scares me. He was awful last year. Gilmore had 5 picks but I watched him play and he was on Browner level.

I'm willing to give him a pass for last season. By all accounts, Rob Ryan came in and ruined everything. Players had no idea what they were supposed to do. Take this tweet for example:

I am surprised...no I am not.

Other than Forsett, yes to all of the above

The idea of Logan Ryan manning one of the corners gets me excited the more I read about him. I am still high on AJ Bouye if the Saints feel that he is right and has proven they like Ryan more then I'm stoked!!! I am hopeful that Breaux will be a force this season and the other corners coming off IR should be ready to step in when needed and we can focus on the front seven.

LB Nick Bellore is an interesting idea. But I still want A.J. Klein

CB Logan Ryan leaving NE would be shocking.
