Agreed, PJ used to be an absolutely liability but he's really become a solid contributor on this D.

If you think about the past few seasons, he's made a handful of huge plays in big moments, e.g;

2018 Pick 6 vs Vikings that they never recovered from

2018 vs Steelers, they were driving late for the tie / lead, PJ forced a fumble to seal the game

2021 - Pick 6 vs Brady to ice the game

Those are just a few that spring to mind for me.

The 2021 defense was definitely a strength in New Orleans.

Anyone notice that opposing RBs had limited success in the run game in 2021.

Hope we can get Championship #2 before Ryan N leaves. He has been a phenomenal dline coach.

Yup. Saints were #1 in yards per carry (3.7). And that includes the anomalous game against the Eagles.

Calvin Ridley to the Saints? Not likely, but it would be nice.

I'd love to have ANYONE of these guys but that's a hard sell without the uncertainty at QB.

Suddenly being $60 million over the cap is not an issue. Think these guys are going for the league min?

I know we can't keep everyone, however ...

Don't want to lose PJ Williams.
