DT Malcolm Roach re-signed to one-year deal (1 Viewer)

Do we still have the Grandy man?

No it’s reported he wanted a longer for more money, so he tested the market. When he came back that longer deal was given to our other two DTs. So we only offered a 1 year.

I know what he wanted and I know what we offered, that’s why I mentioned that the two year offer we made may have been light on guarantees, so his agent negotiated for a one year deal so Roach would have an out if he plays well.

Gotcha! Makes sense! It's sad that DE is still on the list after so many first round picks have been invested in to the position in the last few years.

It's frustrating because Turner has shown some flashes. He had a multi-sack game and made some nice plays in run defense before his leg/ankle got rolled up on.

Personally I think it's a year too early to give up on him and we already have 4 DE's locked into the depth chart. If a DE is clearly ranked higher than others then draft him but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one just yet.

The Saints still have to invest in the DE/DT. Granderson and Turner will get their chance this year to show what they can do but the Saints have to have an eye toward the future since Granderson is not signed long term and Turner is still on his rookie deal and Jordan contract is coming to an end.

Important rotational piece on D. I still wouldn’t be surprised or all that unhappy if we went DL at 29, though. Football is still won or lost in the trenches, even in today’s game.

I agree on Turner, he gets pressure on the QB when he gets on the field. Fans tend to only remember sacks, but sacks tend to track pretty well with pressures over the long run (about one sack for every seven pressures).

Glad to have Roach back in the fold. He started to show some progress last season. Let's hope he keeps progressing this season.

Yep
