Possible replacement for Kasim Edibali?

REPORT: Former Cardinals DE Visiting With Saints | 12up

Definitely worth exploring.

Who might that be?

First thing I'd ask...is he better than what we have? The answer to that question is nearly always yes. So I say yes on Okafor. I say yes to any player who is currently, or has shown in the past, able to be good at playing defense.

Hodges, Hightower, Brown, Collins, Jenkins

If we sign him very cheaply, great. Otherwise I would much rather get an impact player

Maybe someone noticed Okafor while scouting Chandler Jones?

Quality depth and can spot start for a good defensive line...

But we're gonna need more help...

This is only for depth and he will only provide relief for the starters.

Really would love this pickup. He would come cheap and he is young. He played backup to jones which is no slouch. Rotate him and a rookie.
