Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Yeah that was pretty horrendous, Davis was making plays all over the field in the playoffs because he was the only one capable of doing so.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Zach Baun is looking increasingly like a square peg-round hole pick. He was a 3-4 OLB who we wanted to convert to off-ball LB and it just reeks of Kikaha all over again.

We've traded up multiple times for players that just get released before the season starts or never see the field. It doesn't feel like the Jeff Ireland drafts of old, which makes me think someone else is getting a little too involved again. |

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Well I can say this regarding Baun, Payton said post-draft that they envisioned him as a Mike. With such an abbreviated offseason and no preseason it’s entirely possible that he just hasn’t had the practice time to make that transition. Instead, in order to get him on the field in some capacity they’ve used him in his college role rushing the passer a couple snaps per game.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Kwon’s cap hit next season is like $13 mil with no dead money if we release him. It’s entirely possible that Kwon isn’t on the team next season if he doesn’t show enough to warrant a restructure/extension.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
I think in due time Baun will be a good LB in New Orleans but we play quite a bit of nickel. A 3rd rounder with no training camp isn't going to make an impact right away.
My concern is how he's coached up. |
