re: Saints among 6 teams interested in McCoy

We keep 4-5 DTs on the roster every year. Rankins is starting on PUP and will miss 8 games.

To start the season, if we would get McCoy, we'd have:

McCoy
Brown
Onyemata
Stallworth and/or Edwards or an UDFA

Then when Rankins comes back you roll with 5 or PS Stallworth/UDFA and/or cut Edwards.

At DE we also keep 4 or 5 every year and UDFA surprises aside we have:

Jordan
Davenport
Hendrickson
Horton

So we are not full up on the Dline whatsoever. We can use upgrades at DE and DT.
