2018 Saints FA - Who do we sign?

If we sign a Tight End, I suspect it'll be to bring Jimmy Graham back into the fold...

Tiger-Saints are probably hoping for this one; but I have doubts as Thomas will need to be extended in just a couple of seasons...

I won't rule it out but the price would have to be right on Jimmy Dickens. The Saints desperately need a 3rd down threat and red zone weapon. Personally, I'd like to target one in the upcoming draft.

Nigel is a player I've mentioned several times on this forum. I'd like him in New Orleans.

Keep an eye out for how the Cowboys tender DL David Irving, Cowboys (RFA); if they go light, he could be in play...

I'll point out myself as one of those without no shame and with no crow on my plate.

Jenkins is not the same player now, or during his time in Philly, that the Saints let walk back in the day.

Jenkins has said himself that the Saints not re-signing him was a wake-up call, which made him evaluate and improve his gameplay to the level its been with the Eagles. I have zero doubt that the Saints' defensive coaching staff as it was then and has been since for a lot of years couldn't have coached him up, if the spark to improve wouldn't have come from inside the player. Re-signing him could've sent a message that the Saints were satisfied with his level of play, and he would've remained pretty much the same player.

No way should the Saints have given him what the Eagles gave him (=overpaid from the Saints' standpoint).

Hind-sight is great, but it doesn't change the facts that were true at that moment in time the decision to let him walk was made.
