Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency

The Chargers should be loaded on the offensive line with this move...

If Phillip Rivers ever actually had time to throw, he could possibly hit 5500 PaYds in a season...

So how do they pay BOTH a entering prime Donald and a 31yo Suh?

Overview

Re-signing Brees was longstanding a given for the Saints heading into free agency, however, it didn’t go without drama as New Orleans and the future Hall of Fame quarterback waited until just before the opening of the league new year to agree to terms. With Brees locked up for at least two more seasons and their recent success budding from the 2017 NFL Draft, the Black and Gold on offense seem to remain mostly intact. While the loss of veteran Strief will go a long way, there are still options available for them to sign, or draft come April.

Joining that recent stretch of draft success in New Orleans, is Robinson, who re-joins the team on the heels of a career year in Philadelphia, where be played the majority of his snaps in the slot. The Saints would be best-suited to continue that trend as he finished with a career-high grade of 89.8, more than 10.0 points higher than his previous season-best, while he logged a career-high 458 snaps in the slot. With Ken Crawley and Marshon Lattimore on the outside, the return of Coleman to the backend with second-year Marcus Williams and Robinson on the inside, the secondary in New Orleans has been seemingly locked up. – @PFF_Cam

This signing would make sense considering they just let Mike Mitchell go.
