2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; When healthy Ansah is elite pass rusher. Yes, huge upgrade over Okafor. If there is one year incentive based deal it could benefit both parties. Lately players gamble with 1 year deals and it pays off. (Richardson, Jeffery, Mathieu...)...

Still hoping and waiting for a Free agent DT & TE visit to New Orleans. Large holes on both sides of the ball.

And they'll likely get two great edge rushers compliments of our first round pick Payton carelessly traded away...

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

I am waiting on a WR visit. I understand alot of WR's are being overpaid so I just hope we sign a diamond out of the bunch the WR depth is gettting weak outside of Tyrell Cook (TE) and Tate and they will command too much for us.

We probably target Michael Crabtree, Randall Cobb or Rishard Matthews.

I would gamble on Kevin White.

These are the WR deals so far


Adam Humphries WR 26 TB TEN 4 $36,000,000 $9,000,000 $19,000,000 $12,000,000 -

Cole Beasley WR 30 DAL BUF 4 $29,000,000 $7,250,000 $14,400,000 - -

Jamison Crowder WR 26 WAS NYJ 3 $28,500,000 $9,500,000 $17,000,000 - -

John Brown WR 29 BAL BUF 3 $27,000,000 $9,000,000 $11,700,000 $10,100,000 -

Devin Funchess WR 25 CAR IND 1 $10,000,000 $10,000,000 - - -

Josh Bellamy WR 30 CHI NYJ 2 $5,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,750,000 $2,750,000 $1,840,000

Danny Amendola WR 33 MIA DET 1 $4,500,000 $4,500,000 $4,250,000 $4,250,000 $4,484,375

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

Ingram's camp was essentially looking for more than a 25% raise doing less work, though he was more effective, efficient in the split backfield...

While I've posted ad nauseam about how much I hated the trade with the Patriots to move back into the first to get him...

I do believe the time, energy in developing him, plus his apparent chemistry with the team is important to keep around...

Ingram's 2018 Cap Number was ~$6.25 mil with base, pro-rated bonus, workout bonus et al...

Now, the NFL Salary Cap per team for 2018 was $177.2 million...

Per CBS Sports, "According to NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy...the 2019 salary cap is projected to range somewhere between $187 million and $191.1 million." -that translates to a five/seven percent increase...

That said, Mark Ingram is now 29yo, he'll turn the dreaded 30 for an NFL RB next season. And there's definitely a shift in the offense from last season...

So I suspect once the cap is officially set, we'll see the team agree on something possibly like a seven to even eight percent increase for Ingram but less guaranteed money as what the team will drive...

Or his new agent may push for him to test the market and that's where it could get interesting - might a team overpay to break-up Saints chemistry? do Saints gamble, bet on a lower number...

Either way, the Saints will resolve quickly the Ingram question to solidify the backfield...

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

Good luck to Mark and I hope he gets the deal and a starting spot in Baltimore. Loved watch the guy, loads of passion. But the money just isn't there and this is his last big deal so can't blame a man for wanting to secure his family long term future.

This deal makes plenty of sense for everyone.

Ansah is to replace Okafor.
