Jeff Duncan says, Saints are very interested in bidding for Xavien Howard.

After front office got under the cap from being 100+ mill over just a few months ago… I’ll never question these guys when it comes to managing the books. Plus they could sign Howard to a new contract if they get him and lower his cap hit over the next couple years. I’m not concerned about the cap.

The question is how much are they willing to give up for Howard.
That is also a big factor. Besides who won’t be getting paid down the line, we also have to factor in, what are we willing to give up. I would give a 2nd, but not a 1st. Our first could just as well be a top 10 pick as much as a bottom 10 pick.
