LB Willie Gay to the Saints on 1-year deal (Merged)

That's what I was thinking. I wonder if the team feels that Werner hasn't been good enough and this is either a wake up call or a sign that they will move on from him next year if Gay earns a longer contract?

Of course, it would also make it a lot easier to move Werner to MLB if Davis gets hurt or needs to be subbed over the next two years of his contract.

Werner for some reason looked SLOW last year, always a step behind on his angles and slower to react.

I hope he gets back whatever he had before last year, but something just seemed off with him in ‘23. He may be one of the many guys that for one reason or another, peaks early and ages beyond his years. Maybe it’s the injuries.
