We sure as hell could have used him on Sunday.

Like JP alluded to earlier, Murray is set to count 4M against the cap.

Saints need top value any way they can right now.

These 21 Saints are set to be free agents in 2021 offseason:
John Sigler

The New Orleans Saints’ season came to a sudden end, forcing fans and observers to shift gears towards an unpleasant offseason. There’s a long list of free agents to contend with in 2021, and that doesn’t even get into the potential salary cap casualties — that’s a problem for another time.

That's alot of depth to be losing with little space to bring any back

K Major · 01-19-2021, 02:23 PM

Here is my short list of guys who can walk in 2021 FA ..

Anzalone
P.J. Williams
Jared Cook
Craig Robertson
Ty Montgomery
Bennie Fowler
Ken Crawley
Jordan Humphrey

I'd like to somehow retain Sheldon Rankins on the cheap.

On the fence with Trey Hendrickson. Tread carefully throwing the bank on a over performing player in a contract year.

Get folks bashing on him at times, but that's a myopic view - he plays a number of positions for us and while not an elite player at those positions, overall he does a solid job as a reserve...

I was just thinking about the fact that if/when Marcus Williams leaves in FA I wouldn’t mind seeing what PJ can do full-time at FS.

2020 was a terrific season for Marcus W. I'd like to have him back. He looks comfortable on the back end. Tackling has gotten better, he's no longer "guessing" & more importantly he understands the defense now.

I'm curious to see what options he gets in Free Agency. If someone is willing to overpay, good for him but if no takers …

Welcome him back to New Orleans

+1...I’ve been saying this for years. I mentioned in a post about 2 years ago that I would like to see how PJ would be at safety. PJ is very versatile and Payton speaks highly of his football knowledge for the entire secondary. He is a long corner with good acceleration but lacks top speed. He is by far one of the best tackling and hardest hitting DBs we have. Forces a good amount of turnovers as well.

I definitely would mind having him back. He would be a lot cheaper and add depth at CB and Safety.
