Totally agree with Rez that Tyrann Mathieu is a game changer for the back end of your defense and would energize #WhoDatNation, but as Major points out Saints FO have a salary slot number...

And it's not just the Saints, Mathieu has taken several good meetings with teams and come away without a contract - most of the time that suggests it's the asking price...

Well if so, then that’s where this “salary slot” is hurting them IMO. I would have gladly not signed Smith and spent that money to increase the money to safety. Same with with Sorensens contract. the two players I want are Honey Badger and Melvin Gordon. With that I’d feel good about going into draft. Then OT/WR/DL are picks 1-3.

Plus one for Honey Badger, but I'd liked Melvin Mack...
