he was playing at a caliber worthy of some decent money. Was likely on pace for a 8-9 sack type year.



Cam is the superstar DE, we just need a decent player opposite of him.

Bring Okafor back and go out and get another starting DT.

Saints placed DE Alex Okafor on injured reserve with a torn Achilles, ending his season.
He was hurt in Sunday's win over Washington. Okafor was having a nice bounce-back year before the injury, earning PFF's No. 14 grade out of 64 qualifiers at 4-3 defensive end. The 2013 fourth-round pick will hit free agency this offseason. Tue, Nov 21, 2017 06:34:00 PM


little tidbit on rotoworld. He can easily fetch a 3 yr 25 mill type deal imo. injury concern is there though now.

With Rankins, Onymata, and Davison I wouldn't spend much on a FA DT. DT takes longer for the most part than other positions before players develop to their peak. Next year Davison will be just getting there at 4 years and the other 2 will be going on their 3rd year. I think we are fine there, maybe bring Hughes back, plus we had a promising young guy who went on IR I think during preseason, but can't remember his name. It's nothing for most DTs to take 4-5 years to come onto their own and play consistently at a high level.
