5 no brainer internal moves that I anticipate the Saints making this offseason to prepare for free agency

The Jenkins situation is so tough; because the Saints have had so much trouble finding a reliable solution at the #2 Cornerback spot for seemingly the last six seasons. (Devante Harris, Crawley, Apple) all didn't pan out, and you do have to pay for this position..

On the other hand.. Corners usually don't get better after the age of 31; so you are taking a risk with an extension when he inevitably hits the point of a harsh decline. Either eat an $11 mil cap hit for a team tight on cap, or try your luck in free agency again..

Some Corners on the free agent market: High price: Byron Jones, Chris Harris Jr, James Bradberry.
Next tier: Logan Ryan, Kendall Fuller, Trae Waynes, Jimmy Smith, Bradley Roby, Kendall Fuller.


What kind of value does Sheldon Rankins actually have on the trade market? After 2 season ending injuries with only one year left on his deal I don't think anyone's giving up anything substantial for him with that level of uncertainty.. A 4th rounder, maybe a 3rd if we're extremely lucky? I think for better or for worse Rankins is staying with the Saints this year on his 5th year option.. and he either comes back and makes a lot of money for himself with a resurgence, or he never really truly recovers and the Saints can move on after this season...
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. If JackRabbit gets his 11 mil I think he'll be ok if its mostly in a bonus that'll stretch 3 years against the cap.

But if I did had my picks my choices would be Kendall Fuller or Trae Waynes. We don't need to break the bank Latty coming up.
