re: Where do the Saints go from here?

Gotta make notable decisions on:

-Winston
-Armstead
-Marcus Williams
-Kwon
-TQS

Then in FA, address these as needed:

-QB (if not Jameis)
-WR
-OG
-OT (if Armstead walks)
-LB (if Kwon walks)
-FS (if Williams walks)

In the draft, the team will likely go with their typical strategy of just getting the best players at their slot. Hopefully it aligns with some of these needs (especially WR, which have a short ramp up in 2022).


Long story short, the list of real needs on this team isn’t very long. The core of the defense will be back, and that defense is elite. The team is capable of getting 30m in the green in cap space fairly easily with no cuts.

So the go forward plan is likely just to figure out QB, grab 1-2 decent FAs, reload in the draft, and hope that with more time together/chemistry + improved health next year, we can come back and make it happen.
