That non-call may have closed the door on this era of the Saints
Free agency isn’t over and we haven’t had the draft, yet. WAY premature. This opinion is asinine.
I wasn’t going to go that far, hahaha.
Look, our offense fell off a cliff at the end of the year. Part of it was nagging injuries to OLinemen, including Unger and Peat. Part of it was lacking any true receiving threat outside of MT and AK. And part of it was Brees missing some throws he’s normally made.
We still should’ve been in the Super Bowl.
Our FO has addressed the deficiencies. Health on the OL should help and, frankly, Unger may be at the point where he won’t truly be healthy anyway. The FO has clearly been working with that idea in mind.
The only way I’ll be disappointed by this off-season is if we don’t a) sign someone like Easton who can play C/G and at least compete b) sign a TE like Cook who can attack the seams. Those are the “musts” as of now.
We still have the best roster in the league. Just need to fill a couple holes so we can draft BPA.
