There was an article about 3 weeks ago that talked about Ayers meeting with teams in the NFC South after he was cut by Tampa.

It's not as strong as a visit (like Austin Howard), but there is supposed to be interest from the Saints. It would make a lot of sense as well. He's not as good of a pass rusher (he's 32 years old), but he's still damn good against the run.

I doubt we bring in a pass rusher unless it's from the draft. If we fail to draft a pass rusher...we'll have to pray that Okafor is good to go, or depend on Kikaha/Muhammad as situational pass rushers.

On Snead...I'm saying if he signs his tender, b/c the Saints can still pull the offer (at least I think they can). At this point...I doubt another team signs him to an offer sheet. All that said...I'm assuming he plays here in 2018 for 1.907 mil.

Unless we are signing Bryant out the blue, we aren't pulling the tender. We would have done so after getting Meredith if that was the case. We aren't so flush with guys that we'd pull an offer of only $2 mil on a guy who had back to back 900 yard seasons.

On Ayers, if it was us and we were pursuing him seriously I think we'd have brought him in for a visit by now. I can see him maybe being a post draft depth signing if we don't draft a DE.
