2022 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

K Major · 04-02-2022, 10:14 AM

Done in Free agency? I hope not.

As Lord eluded to earlier, you'll have to either slightly overpay @ WR, OL & TE or go into 2022 with the same suspect group of characters.

The Rams have somewhat changed the game in Free Agency vs the draft and the payoff was a Lombardi trophy.

I'm all for "building through the draft", however, there is nothing wrong with slightly overpaying a proven (Landry, Collins, Mathieu, or whatever) NFL commodity.

At this point, I wouldn't rule out trading for a player. You'll need a solid #2 opposite MT in case he goes down again.

If Dennis is serious about contending in 2022, you must get weapons. The likes of Trequan, Vannett, and Trautman ain't good enough.

Happy Saturday & I'm off to ride the motorcycle, the weather is incredible today

We’re going in with the same group of characters + whomever we add in the draft. Most people aren’t going to want to admit it, but we are in a rebuild and kicking the can down the road did hurt our roster. Armstead counts for $13 million in dead cap this year and Drew Brees still costs $11.5 million in dead money. Get ready for a down year.

I hope we aren’t in a rebuild, Chris. Demario and Cam aren’t getting any younger. And, I really want them to at least get to the bowl before it’s all said and done.

I’d say a holding pattern more than rebuild. Doesn’t change the fact those guys aren’t getting any younger. I think they are holding their breath with the hope we have a VERY good draft and Winston turns out to be legit. Basically holding their cards and wishing for luck. If not then next year will be a major roster shakeup.

So far Armstead is the only real lost … and then for only an average of 10 games a year. Williams was good but the I think of the critical plays/tackles/blown coverages and the impact they had on our seasons.
Good Luck Fare Thee Well … thanks for those memeories.

Idk why you guys are so worried about WR. Um hellllllooo. We signed 3quan! Might as well trade Can't Call Mike. We have everything we need for a championship run!
