Saints 2017 Free Agents and Those with 1 Year Left

There has been some discussion in various threads about our team's free agents at the end of this season, but I thought the topic should have its own thread.

Here is a list of upcoming free agents:

Unrestricted FA

Jahri Evans
Darryl Tapp
John Kuhn
Roman Harper
Jason Trusnik
Tony Hills
Tim Hightower
Dannell Ellerbe
John Phillips
Jamarca Sanford
Paul Kruger
Justin Drescher
Kyle Wilson
Nick Fairley
Travaris Cadet
Sterling Moore

Restricted FA

Shiloh Keo
Michael Mauti
Sam Barrington
Tim Lelito
Chris Banjo
B.W. Webb


Exclusive Rights FA

Willie Snead
Brandon Coleman
Kasim Edebali
Jake Lampman


Here's a list of those with one year left on their contract:

Drew Brees
Luke McCown
Kenny Vaccaro
Senio Kelemete
Brandin Cooks (can pick up 5th year option)
Delvin Breaux
Corey Fuller
Robenson Therezie
Travis Feeney
Jack Allen

Who would you like to bring back or extend their contract beyond the remaining one year?

Nick Fairley should be re-signed, but I wonder if the comfort of a new contract may cause him to backslide into his former lazy ways. Willie Snead is a no-brainer. Lelito has proven to be a solid O lineman who is versatile and can back up several positions. I'd bring Mauti back as well. I like his high motor.

As to possible extensions, I would say Vacarro has earned one. Hopefully the PED violation was a one-time thing. Cooks should be extended as well. If Breaux is pursued, I hope he can stay healthy. I liked what I saw of him last year.

Edited to show FA designation.
