2020 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

blackangold · 01-17-2020, 10:28 AM

My FA needs... also Draft needs...

DT:
Need a big powerful DT that has pass rushing ability. We saw late in the year the pass rush declined considerably. Throughout the year there wasn't much pressure up the middle and that needs to change.

WR:
This one is obvious. Even with my anti-Brees mentality I understand we have one of the worst WR corps in the league. We need a solid rout runner that is a hands catcher. A big body WR wouldn't hurt here either.

O-Line:
Peat is awful and shouldn't return. We need a replacement that has quick feet and understands the zone blocking scheme.

LB:
I hope AJ comes back, but even if he does it's unlikely that Alex stays healthy so we need another young fast LB here. Coverage skill is a plus, but I would like to see some pass rushing ability as well.

Washington (Seahawks) Florida (Jaguars, Bucs, Dolphins) Texas (Texans and Cowboys) With the move by Raiders to Nevada that makes 7 NFL teams in states with no income tax.

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

A veteran name that hasn't been mentioned a lot ...

Breshad Perriman - WR BUCS

Becomes a UFA in March. As a #3 WR in Tampa, he ended the season with 645 yards/6 TD's. BP is a big target & has a nice catch radius. He could help out Brees on some of those contested passes .. something Tre/Ginn failed (high point/win 50 balls) to do all of 2019.

IMO his skills are quite possibly better than any kid coming of the draft. Perriman wouldn't be a costly move either.

E Butler, Jordan Humphrey are BIG guys but require more polish.

Don't know about him as most of those numbers came in garbage time, and he was the third option on a team that featured two All-Pro caliber WRs...

In his case, you'd really, really have to get in the tape and watch it all...

Signing Eric Berry would shore up safety should Vonn Bell prove too expensive...

Maybe the Saints find a way to retain VB. He did lead our team in takeaways in 2019 & was always around the ball.

I'm very surprised Eric didn't get a "prove it" type of deal from any team last season.

One would wonder if Berry would have had more "impact" on the secondary instead of repeated collapses on the back end? IMO Vonn isn't the safety the Saints need to move away/upgrade from.

Eric Berry equals Champ Bailey 2.0

He didn't get that deal because they all know his time has passed.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
