Top Remaining Free Agent Targets For The Saints

[MikeyF]

Another option to possible consider for a young UFA is Wills Jr.
He has had injury problems the last 2 years but he could be like Becton & benefit by being moved inside to OG.
He doesn't have a big market & only the Jets seem to be pursuing him at this time.
A 1 year prove it contract like Becton with Philly last year.

We landed Justin Reid, & im hyped about that. Wo up ld love to see us sign EDGE/OLB Azeez Ojulari & WR Elijah Moore. These dudes, like Reid, were a couple of my past draft darlings.

Excellent Under the Radar UFA!

 

[Cajun Chat]

I've seen him quite a bit, he's really solid. Very smart player and can cover, has a sense for the ball, but lacks physicality in tackling effort.
He'd be the best CB on the roster immediately. Sign him!

Very good cover guy but hurt often. Not built for the NFL.

Play him at LG...

Really hope we sign Teven.

 

[St. Geezy]

Really hope we sign Teven.

Yeah. Really don’t want to go into draft night with a big hole at LG. Even if it is filled with Lucas Patrick again between now and then, I’d still view it as a hole.

 

[SaintBudMan]

Really hope we sign Teven.

Trystan Colon maybe worth a look if we miss out on Teven. He turns 27 this month. He was a backup until Will Hernandez was injured last year. He was a center in college but plays all IOL spots. He played 370+ snaps at RG last year with 1 penalty, 0 sacks, and 3 hits.

Yeah. Really don’t want to go into draft night with a big hole at LG. Even if it is filled with Lucas Patrick again between now and then, I’d still view it as a hole.

Patrick is about on the same level as Clapp for me. High quality backup but just not a starter.

Patrick is about on the same level as Clapp for me. High quality backup but just not a starter.

Agreed

 

[TruSaint]

I’d be willing to bet we have another decently big signing coming, hopefully teven or Asante

 

[MikeyF]

Asante Samuel Jr.


Jk Dobbins RB


Teven Jenkins


Jedrick Willis OT possibly convert to LG


Azeez Ojulari

It is hard to understand the Saints not taking a chance on Jedrick Wills at $2.2 million a year...
If he doesn't work out at LG you can always use him as OT depth...

Jedrick Wills Projected contract: 1 years, $2,216,269

The other options at LG are more expensive...
Teven Jenkins Projected contract: 3 years, $31,039,296
Trystan Colon Projected contract: 3 years, $49,699,917

If we draft a G...
He might be the starter at the beginning of the season until the rookie is ready for the NFL...

Wow, I never would have thought Trystan Colon would have projected that high. I thought he would have been cheaper than Jenkins. He has been a back up his whole career. He didn't start last year until Will Hernandez went down with a knee injury. He only started 7 games in 2024 plus 4 games in 2023 and is now looking at $16.6m / year. Crazy
