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

I say you find a way to make a deal for Howard. Then next step is to find a way to pay both Lattimore and Howard. Excellent CBs are hard to find and N.O will field a fierce pass defense with those 2 on the field. Those two in turn will help improve the pass rush.

Also if you have Lattimore and Howard under contract long-term, N.O can focus on drafting pass rushers and LBers. This will help keep the front end of the defense cheap
