Hopeully they fuind a gem this year.
in the UDFAs.

Hopefully it is this guy.

#1 in the Nation.
How did this dude not get drafted.
Everyone, is saying this dude is legit and a stud.
Hes got the Bend


Training camp is going to be exciting.

Dont forget Cam Jordan coming back. If he bags another 10 Sacks, this year and Chase does 10 Sacks, then the rest of the team hopefully will get 20 sacks. This team might start looking frosty.

Edit.
Hopefully the team gets more than 50 Sacks this year.
Sorry.

Does anyone actually think Godchaux, Shepherd, Bresee, and Granderson are safe on our roster? Starting the season? Maybe. Finishing the season? None of them are safe IMO.

We drafted Broughton/ C Miller to replace Godchaux/ Shepherd. We have been trying to replace Granderson with several people this offseason. We are already overpaying Bresee with the chsnce it plays out but will cut ties asap if he sucks.

Even if you keep Shepherd ahead of Broughton you have the (3) C Miller/ Ridgeway/ Z Harris who make Godchaux irrelevant and immediately moveable.

"Based on performance data from the 2025 season, John Ridgeway was arguably more effective in a limited role for the New Orleans Saints' run defense, while Davon Godchaux provided more consistent availability and total volume as a starter".

Ridgeway could be the better option than Godchaux this year anyway.

FIRE UP CHIPS!

Bresee and Grandison seem fairly safe this year.

You do realize we actively tried to replace Granderson with both of Thibodeaux/ Chaisson right now? And then got Tyree Wilson in the hope that he ends up better than Granderson. None of those dudes are a washed 3rd string Cam replacement. All those dudes were targeted to start across from Chase Young and move on from Granderson.

We have $35mil invested in Granderson/ Bresee for 27' and they are worth maybe $20mil combined at the moment. Neither one of them are getting paid that total if they don't produce. We restructured Granderosn purposely to carry future dead money which almost guarantees he's going to be moved.

Bresee is not safe at all. We extended him in the hope that he breaks out. If he doesn't improve then he's more likely to be traded this year than next year.

There's absolutely no reason to believe that Granderson/ Bresee/ Shepherd/ Gotchaux are better than Broughton/ Z Harris/ C Miller/ T Wilson. And that's strictly based off those 4 dudes simply not being that good. Lets just forget that we had the worst DL in the league until Chase Young came back.

I think all defensive lineman are on notice. I think the only defensive lineman that are “safe” this year are Chase Young, Bryan Bresee, and Christen Miller.

I think Davon Godchaux, Nathan Sheppard and Carl Granderson have a leg up on making the team, but with all the players we brought in I think it’s a clear message that this unit needs a major upgrade and they will keep whoever rises to the top.

Godchaux had a down yr.

They obviously want to get younger there with Miller. It seems they still believe enough in breesee.

I believe godchaux can get just post June 1st and his dead hit goes way down by 4 or 5 mill.

His cap number is around 7 this yr. This is the last yr of his deal wire 2 dummy yrs tacked on.
