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.
I seem to remember DA saying either in Werner's first or second season that he views him as a player who can lead the defense in the MLB spot, so it stands to reason that they bring in his replacement for the '25 season when Werner moves over to Mike. Could turn out to be a really great move if it pans out.
