However, with reports that the veteran signal caller and his camp were willing to test the market as the Saints sought adjustments to his contract, the potential for a post-June 1 separation continues to draw curiosity. Here’s what that would look for for New Orleans, and why it would be a shock if the team decided to go that direction.

ESPN’s Todd McShay hypothesized that another NFL club may be disappointed with its quarterback situation following the NFL Draft, thus causing that team to look for alternatives in the trade market.

The first big waves of free agency have passed, and now depth can be found throughout the available players. With the Saints not being able to sign expensive free agents to fix all their needs, cheap low-risk depth can be vital to any success, and recently, the New Orleans has done that by signing Velus Jones Jr, per Jeremy Fowler.

Jones Jr. is a former 3rd round pick by the Chicago Bears, and he has been used as...
