The Vikes never even made an offer to him... I guess he wasn't in their plans going forward.

I'm hoping the Saints front office isn't done in Free Agency.

We'll require more than 2 productive DE's plus we lost Okafor. 80 grams will certainly see at least 1 game suspension and Shimmy Rankins is in rehab mode.

Robert Quinn (rotational piece) would be a great pick up if we can land him.

Iowa SS Amani Hooker in the draft is looking better and better...

To be clear, Quinn is not a Free Agent, but is on the Trade Block...

Quinn would be a fantastic addition, but at what cost draft pick-wise?

Know your market - don't over-compensate. Miami is in a salary purge, they're going to cut him, we're just trying to avoid spending in an open-market...

Seventh round pick should get it done, highest pick I'd trade is No. 202...

Start? Or be a rotational piece and start on special teams? Reserve?

I expect the Saints front office brass to complete free agency with signing a DE. Still need to find Alex Okafor's replacement.

You can never have enough pass rushers & depth.

I'm not so sure. I mean, if the price is right then yeah. But we have Cam and Marcus, Mario Edwards can play DE and we still have Trey Hendrickson. Onyemata can also kick out to DE if necessary, once he's in the clear to play. I can't imagine he'll get more than a 3 to 4 game ban if anything. I just don't see it as a need at this point, more of a luxury.

Hear me out ...

Gotta get more pass rushing specialists (probably why we brought in Quinn and Ansah) Fry. The best teams in 2018 rotated their pass rushers in waves & you need guys fresh on the DL. We only have 2 (Cam/Davenport) legit pass rushers. I don't think the Saints have a whole lot of confidence in Trey. He hasn't hurt us but hasn't done anything special either.

And to your point, I don't see adding another player as a "luxury". In a pass happy league, you need 3 to 4 legit pass rushers. The "new league" is now based on passing and stopping the pass. NFL is a brutal sport and I expect guys to go down at some point of the season. Looking back at the 2015 Broncos & Philly Championship teams ... solid rotation throughout the season.

At the blink of an eye, you can go from deep at the position to signing guys off the street in less than a week.

I don't see Okafor's replacement on the roster ... yet.

You either break the bank for elite players or sign underrated guys who performed on elite level like Demario Davis, Malcolm Brown...

Guys that "showed potential in some games or had decent season" usually get overpaid. I'm not a fan of that approach.

Cowboys' interests in Quinn is leverage vs Lawrence, may backfire on them...

Cowboys still have several players to get extended in the next year...

I see your point, and I don't disagree. Ideally we would add one more guy who has a proven track record as a pass rusher. But with our cap situation as it is it feels more like a want than a need, unless it's a team friendly deal. Looking at the roster I still see big time question marks at WR and backup OT that need to be addressed, as well as needing room to sign draft picks. Of course we could continue to kick the can down the road, but with a core of young studs who will need extensions over the next few years I'd rather we stopped doing that so much. Sometimes you have to roll with what you've got and hope for the best. But hey, if they can find a way to make it work then I'm on board.

There's always a way to make it work.

You know....if we could sign Ansah or Quinn this could be the best off season we've had in a long time. Thank God we fired our old scouts and brought in personnel who could envision what we look for in a player and then finding the player to fit the scheme. Once again, a tip of the hat again to Jeff Ireland and the entire scouting department from college to pros for finding talent for our coaches to develop.

Twelve pressures, four sacks, and a threat on punt rush, that's what we have to find...
