Remaining Free Agents On The Market I'd like for the Saints to sign in the second wave of free agency:

DT Johnathan Hankins, 26yo

His numbers may seem modest, but they're ever bit comparable to the riskier signing of Suh, and he's legit to draw double-teams; a real lunch pail type who could be signed through his prime with a modest contract...

CB Delvin Breaux, 28yo

Make it right, get him back; he wants to be in that number; talent is there and now the depth to allow him to get to full strength...

WR Jordan Matthews, 26yo

Not a big fan as he's now got the perception of being soft; Sean Payton was high on him at one time; if he can be had for a one year contract, let him and Snead compete this season for a longer term contract...

RB Orleans Darkwa, 26yo

Ingram's getting older, he's a Tulane alum, he could potentially be signed for modest numbers and be groomed to take over Ingram's role...

G Luke Joeckel

He's a former first round talent who's struggled in former bad systems and with health; he can be had for a team friendly contract and likely would benefit from some good offensive line coaching which we certainly have...

The restricted free agency tour for #Bears WR Cameron Meredith made its third stop over the weekend in the Big Easy. Does an offer sheet come soon?

What is with the Saints FO and the love with undrafted WR's :rolleyes:? We have 4 too many that can't create separation. And apparently coming off a torn ACL.

Surely we can do better.

The Saints aimed to sign Jimmy Graham earlier this offseason and now appear to be considering another TE reunion, as they hosted Benjamin Watson for a visit, per league source.

Will New Orleans Saints bet nearly $3 million on Willie Snead? - NFL Nation- ESPN

...Most importantly, Snead proved to be a fantastic possession receiver, leading the Saints with exactly 25 catches on third downs in both 2015 and 2016. Last season, Snead had only four catches on third downs while the Saints plummeted to a shocking 19th in the NFL in third-down efficiency (37.6 percent).

The Saints, who have routinely led the NFL in third-down percentage over the past decade with coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, must find a way to improve in that area. We’ll find out soon if they expect Snead to be part of the solution...

USA Today poses three possible DT additions for the Saints:
  • DT1 Johnathan Hankins - This should seem like the ideal signing to replace Fairley, but why aren't the Saints buckeyes endorsing him?

  • DT1 Bennie Logan - Not sure the Chefs had the right ingredients in KC adding a 4-3 DT to a 3-4 front, he'd be interesting..

  • DT3/5 Karl Klug - Klug is more of a set the edge DE in a 3-4, but I liked the idea of signing him to spell Cam till we signed Rogers...

Logan is a good player. He could help down in the trenches. Solid player in KC AND Philly.

Oh, and he is a former LSU Tiger :p.

Yeah, the article was right to point out that Logan didn't make the adjustment to KC's 3-4 front, not sure what the Chefs were thinking...

And with Hankins being from Ohio State, really surprised Big Hank hasn't been brought in yet - perhaps he's got Big Mo syndrome? Sat on his a$$ in Indy?

USA Today poses three DE possible additions for the Saints:
  • DE Junior Galette - this is not the crazy relative you want to reunite with USA Today, can you actually name 20 Saints players without notes, googling?

  • DE Kony Ealy - always an intriguing candidate, but if New England can't make it work, you gotta wonder what is it this kid can't make it work?

  • DE Willie Young - old guy backup is already signed in Rogers, besides Rankins is DE; this is a cap gobbler - keep his number for when Okafor goes down...

Lions not likely to sign Ziggy Ansah to long-term deal – ProFootballTalk

Consider this, Robert Quinn and JPP were traded for 4th round picks this offseason. If we could trade our 4th rounder for Ansah we might seriously want to think about that.

4th rounder yes
3rd rounder yes

Ansah? No. He's not available for sixteen games, picks and chooses his opponents to pad his stats, favorable film...

What we need is a Hankins/Logan in rotation at the NT - that's the ticket...

Seems weird that Davis is being so undervalued since many "experts" had him ranked as the #1 LB going into free agency.

The more I've read about him, the more excited I am about the signing. Sure, it would've been nice to get him cheaper, but this was reportedly what they had to pay him in order to win over the other suitors.

He seems like a true locker room leader and an on-the-field general, who could very well outshine the last gang green MLB the Saints had.

+1.

His contract seems in line, especially when considering salaries (source - spotrac) on other MLB such as Kuechly, Anthony Hitchens, Bobby Wagner & Alex Olgetree. Davis appears to be on par with BMarshall & Zach Brown. He was top 10 at his position & it looks as if he was paid right around that slot.

Dude loves that he is playing close to home, #9 is his QB & Payton is his HC. He has that Ben Watson "vibe" about him. Nolan will coach a good one.

One important thing for me ... rarely misses work (played in 78 of 79 games) & balls on Sundays :p. I think we got better in the middle on D.

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency
 
We overpaid for Davis, period. That's not to say he won't be a value addition, but we overpaid for a guy who's only had one good season...

And the Saints FO did so for two reasons; first, shell-shock from the alarming injuries at the LBing position last season; and two, there was some sting they failed again to close and couldn't sway Jimmy Graham to sign back home...

Not that not overpaying was the wrong move with Graham - it was the right move. But not being able to convince him to come home at market value and become a Saints superstar again on a Title Run - they didn't have enough cache'...
