I thought I had read we are getting multiple comp picks next year.

That's my understanding as well.

Baun slides right in at Sam LB and he can rush the passer as a LEO/stand-up edge rusher on passing downs. High football IQ too. Compares favorably to former Buffalo Bill Lorenzo Alexander.

Sanders was playing in the Superbowl last year...

Meredith had missed most the previous season and even the Bears wouldn't extend him...

youre right


When matched against the addition of wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, that left the Saints with a +3 value in Over The Cap’s cancellation chart, projecting them to receive three compensatory picks in the 2021 draft. That would mean an extra selection in the third round (for Bridgewater) and a pair of sixth-round picks (for Bell and Apple, having lost another one by signing Sanders).

But Apple’s verbal agreement with the Las Vegas Raiders fell apart before he could put pen to paper, and he’s still a free agent. That cost the Saints a possible sixth-round pick in next year’s draft, and if he doesn’t sign with a new team at a comparable salary before the NFL’s deadline, they won’t get anything back for him.

Then we wouldn't have lost at home in the WC round
