Re: 2020 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

If I'm Clowney's agent, knowing my client, I'd advise him to turn down "one year" or "prove it deals" because that's all he'll get till he can't play no more - so he wants guaranteed Big Mo'...

We shouldn't be those guys...

Well, I suppose then there is always the draft. Matos or AJ could fall to us.

On the flip side, I'd still take a flyer on a proven vet that can get to the QB … consistently.

Clay Matthews had 8 sacks (rotational role) in 13 games, 37 tackles and 2 forced fumbles and could come cheap.

Clay Matthews makes alot of sense.
Clowne has never been close to what was expected of him, yet in his mind he is that and more. Griffen would be great too

One thing I'd like about bringing in Clay Matthews is what he could teach young players Trey Hendrickson, Alex Anzalone, Kaden Ellis, among others...

Re: 2020 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

Davenort Often injured?

Look at the Pro Football Reference Statistics

Clowney missed 15 games in his first 2 years 4.5 sacks 0 forced fumbles

Davenport missed 6 games in his first 2 years 10.5 sacks 4 forced fumbles


Perception ISN'T REALITY

I like Davenport, but we need more of him on the field. Like everyone mentioned if we lose Jordan or Davenport our pass rush basically goes out the window. We have no interior pressure and that’s my biggest concern. It doesn’t seem like Rankins is going to be what he once was before the injuries, but even if he is, there isn’t anyone else that’s pass rushing from the DT position.

Bottom line we have 2 solid pass rushers, both DEs, if we lose one then the other gets double teamed and our pass rush is gone.

There isn’t much on the free agent market when it comes to DTs so I am hoping one falls to us in the draft.

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

God forbid anything happens (played hurt vs Vikes playoffs) to Cam Jordan in 2020. Guy plays almost every defensive snap.

Davenport is a physical freak but he has to stay healthy.

A.J. Epenesa would be that insurance policy, if he falls to us...

The fact that none of these guys signed yet suggests they're asking too much guaranteed money or there A.J. may not fall to us as an option in the draft...
