Jim ended the commentary with the question "For whom will Sunday's game be the last as a Saint contributor?"
I would like to see the Saints hang on to as many current core players as possible. Of those that are potential free agents we definitely need to try and lock up Fairley, first and foremost.
There are several other Unrestricted Free Agents on one-yr contracts that I would certainly like to see re-signed.
In the interest of discussion, here is a list of Saints 2017 Free Agents:
UNRESTRICTED FA's
PLAYER piece of work AGE
Paul Kruger OLB 30
Nick Fairley DT 28 Priority, incentive laden.
Tim Lelito G 27 Priority, shouldn't be expensive, but can walk
Roman Harper SS 34
Jahri Evans G 33 One year, maybe. We need his replacement
John Kuhn FB 34
Darryl Tapp DE 32
Jamarca Sanford SS 31
Jason Trusnik ILB 32
Justin Drescher LS 29 Priority, simple cheap signing
Tim Hightower RB 30 If cheap, sure.
Kyle Wilson CB 29
Tony Hills LT 32
Travaris Cadet RB 27
Sterling Moore CB 26 Yes, only if cheap, don't over pay
Shiloh Keo SS 29
John Phillips TE 29
Sam Barrington ILB 26
Michael Mauti OLB 26 Not sure.
RESTRICTED FA'S
PLAYER piece of work AGE
B.W. Webb CB 26 Maybe retain
Chris Banjo SS 26
Corey Fuller WR 26 ST ace, retain.
Kasim Edebali OLB 27 Retain
