I think we are done (for now) with FAs.

I believe I read that the end of the comp pick window is the day after the draft (April 30th). We currently have two 4th rounders and a 6th rounder based on what we have added or lost. Unless we sign anyone else before that date, it looks like we are set at 3. I imagine they are talking to guys like Foster Moreau with plans to sign them after the draft. I suspect there could be one more small signing to offset the 6th rounder, but I have to believe they will try to hold on to those 4th rounders.


I could see us sacrificing one of those 4th rounders if one of these guys is ready to sign a one year deal or a below market deal:
Jadeveon Clowney - DE
Frank Clark - DE
Dalton Risner - G
DJ Chark - WR
Dalton Shultz - TE
Taylor Rapp - S

They currently have around $16M in cap and only need around $3.2M to sign the draft class. They’re def going to add more guys.

I expect PJ will be back and they’ll want to add another TE like Moreau or add Frank Clark or Leonard Floyd for the edge.

I agree, but we may be going the Honey Badger route where we know who it will be, but wait till after the draft.

Frank Clark - DE


Would be an absolute monster come playoffs -

Can't really pick him up in FA right now due to his ongoing battles with Crohn's disease. He'd practice all week and then be inactive on game day due to stomach issues.

But I could see us going after him due to his friendship with Saunders. He'll unfortunately want a heavily front loaded contract and we all know Saints ain't about that.

Clark is very talented but he also has off the field issues.

the Saints are in line to get two 4th rounders and a 6th rounder in comp picks.
