2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

Maybe the front office didn't have enough "trust" in Ziggy's shoulder or his ability to stay on the field .. specifically in late November.

Saints still need another DE though.

Makes sense now. He wouldn’t be much help right off the bat.

Defenses are going to have issues covering Cook in 2019. Thomas should have less double teams, especially when SP lines up Kamara in the slot.

RedZone, up the seams etc. Jared's ability to separate is key for me with that initial burst off the line.

The Cook FA signing is exactly what Drew & the run game needs ... someone to keep linebackers honest.

SUH or Wilkerson on a 1 year rental anyone?

Saints need another DE that is for sure. After Cam Jordan and Davenport, it gets kind of sketchy.

No Love for T-Rex?!?

Wilkerson offers the versatility of being able to play DE for you as well - I'd prefer the versatility...

And Suh didn't get going till the playoffs and both times he was matched up vs injured players (v. Peat in the Rams v. Saints)...

McCoy should be a fine Center, but I'd prefer we'd not been in that position and had secured Unger's heir last year...

We could have scooped up Boston College DE Zach Allen at the end of Round 2, but Payton likes paying retail...

Also, we brought in some serious upside guys among the UDFA group as well that should make camp compelling to follow...
