None. Need to build through the draft. We may add some veteran depth but no big names. Next year we come out of cap hell.

Alex Boone

I want ngata, but the age and cost worries me. His production in Detroit was still really good though

Re-signing Terron Armstead should be top priority.

Plug the gaps with low-risk/high-reward players coming off injuries and have another solid draft.

We are better off bringing back Kevin Williams than bringing Ngata in. His price tag will be too high for a guy that is very much on the decline.

I would guess we try to find OL depth and maybe a pass rusher via FA

How about Ladarius Green?

Maybe Marcedes Lewis

As for WR Anquan Boldin could come here cheap maybe?

Marvin Jones would also be a good target.

I would never go after a big name FA again. Majority of them were playing for the money and once away from their scheme that helped them become so good, they just flounder around. Seriously, name the last big FA we've signed who worked out.

Like others have said, go to veterans who still have a little left in the tank and either haven't won a ring yet or need the paycheck. Then build through the draft and I mean really take it serious. Not some project player from West Montana Tech who looks good physically but "needs a year or two".

We should give Ronald Leary a workout. Pretty good year in 2014, benched for Collins in 2015 after suffering a groin injury earlier in the year. He does have some knee issues, but only 26

Shouldn't be expensive. Would need to know his health status.

I think we have to address G in FA

Alex Boone from SF caught my eye too

I think the Saints will stay away from big name/big money FA's.
I think we need veteran mid tier FA's at DT, WR and guard the most.

In my dreams Calvin Johnson has a boner for playing just once with Drew Brees and he comes to town on the cheap. Calvin, Cooks and Snead with Brees chunking the ball would be a joy to watch.

I've liked Leary as an option since early on in the season. I think he's a solid, if unspectacular player and could come at a decent rate. The question is whether the coaching staff thinks he is an upgrade over Lelito or Kelemete because both of those guys played very well to end the season. Kelemete played at 4 of 5 positions on the line. That kind of versatility is impressive.
