I would def add Myles Jack or Cunningham as a backup LB. We need someone there. And I def think we need another edge. Yannick would be perfect. Let Foskey play the early downs and let Yannick come off the edge on third downs.

I actually don’t think we need another WR but that’s just because I’m a believer in Perry. I think he will be an upgrade over TreQuan. Edwards will be an OK 5th receiver.

I can’t believe we haven’t brought PJ back IMO. I’m actually really worried about our slot defender. Those would be my 3 signings:

Jack at LB
Ngakoue at DE
PJ at Slot CB/S.

I don't see the Saints paying hicks the type of money he wants.

He’s no where near the monster he was in Chicago. He’s just a rotational guy at this point. He will get more than the vet minimum, but not that much more.

Think Michael Brockers is still floating around. He’d be a good signing at this point to eat up snaps.

He’s old and has only played 40 games over the last 4 seasons. He got $10 mil for 1 last year. At this point he’s an old hired gun

Right.

He isn't going to come be a Saint imo on a cheap contract.

He has an inflated view of himself.

Browns acquired DE Za'Darius Smith, a 2025 sixth-round pick, and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Vikings for 2024 and 2025 fifth-round picks.

This is who the Saints should've traded for at edge.

I think the browns gave back two picks.
So a very low price was paid fwiw.

I'm sure he is going to want a new contract but give him some new money and add a year or two to his contract.

He produces every year.

Smith had 10 sacks with the Vikings in 2022. In 2019 and 2020, Smith combined for 26 sacks in consecutive Pro Bowl seasons for the Green Bay Packers. He still has more than $11 in guaranteed salary left on his deal.

Smith is one of five players to have 10-plus sacks in three of the past four seasons, according to ESPN

Ngakoue is a must IMO

Deion Jones or Kwon at LB for depth

PJ at CB or Hicks/Brockers at DT if affordable
