The Saints still have a few a needs to fill in terms adding depth going into the season. Who from the list who you like to see them add? (Aside from the obvious in Landry, who we likely won’t sign because it doesn’t make sense to pay $15M+ to your 3rd wideout, but some of you guys just want to ignore that little fact
)
For me, give me Eric Ebron and Jerik McKinnon. Both would fill rather immediate needs and are easily affordable.

We can't spend 15 mil on Landry, bc we don't even have 15 mil to spend

Is Landry really going to get $15M+? I just find it hard to see a WR getting that much after the draft, particularly one that will turn 30 during the season, even though I think he still has several very productive seasons left in him.
From what I interpreted from Spotrac was we had right at $19M cap space, after the draft, because they included the projected draft pick contracts. Any of you cap gurus know how much cap space do we have after signing Mathieu? Maybe $15Mish?
I actually like OP's suggestions of Ebron & McKinnon, though I don't know if Ebron would be worth the cost compared to what we will get out of Trautman / Johnson / Hill.
We are bringing in Sony Michel this week, which I think would be a great fit.
My wish list:
Re-sign LB Kwon Alexander
WR Jarvis Landry or Will Fuller, in that order depending on $$$
RB Sony Michel

I'm on board with Kwon & Sony Michel.
They're actually affordable.

Not advocating for Landry because you are correct $15m per year is too much for WR3, however Loomis would structure the contract so his cap hit would not be $15m this year. So we could technically afford him…

Technically, we could sign Landry if we really wanted to. It would just screw us over in the future.
Loomis can always find a way.

Landry is certainly a want more than a need.
Needs are probably RB, TE, and DL in no particular order. Anything else is a luxury.

Bump. We can still get guys like Kwon or even McKinnon, who will be nice a contributor on this team.

Darrell Williams will be the next to sign. Short term contract. 1 year although might have a voidable year.

Michel just signed with the Dolphins. What do you think about Tarik Cohen? He has some baggage but I think he'll give 110% because he have something to prove.

Damn! He must be friggin cursed. Didn't think it could possibly get any worse for him.

Such a heart-wrenching story!
I’ll be pulling for Tarik now moving forward regardless where he plays… even RatLanta!
