As many teams that need secondary help, It's crazy how many CB's and Safeties are still out there on the FA Market. I would bring in FS Justin Simmons on a 1yr. contract to help mentor Howden for another year. I would also look for a decent Slot CB too.

The Saints were quiet the past couple of day. I don't think they're quite done in FA yet. We still need to plug holes on the O-Line and D-Line and at Safety. There is still some talent left out there, I hope we see another signing soon. It probably won't be until next week. These signings will be for depth.

There are a lot of really solid options remaining! I can't believe how little KC got for Snead. That should end any talk of us getting decent comp for Latt out there.
I'd take plenty of the safety options, really like Blackmon, the former Colt. He's been making the rounds but hasn't signed yet...

Guy has had one of the strangest careers I have ever seen. Produced everywhere he’s gone, never given the opportunity to be featured.

Dude always looked like a star anytime he got fed the rock.

Size, speed, vision, tackle breaking ability, consistent 4+ yards per carry, but no one would ever let him be “the guy.”

Same here, I was disappointed when MI left and we signed him. I knew he could run the ball but didn't think he was dynamic like MI (receiving and pass pro).....I was wrong, he made an impact despite limited touches....in games where he was the feature back he really produced.....

I would really like to see the Saints go after Jennings, he's younger and gets open more often than Kirkwood, He's a better downfield blocker in the run game and he can go up and make the contested catch.

I couldn't agree more, he will be a lot cheaper than Boyd I believe.....he is the type of vet we need in the group....

At this point, im hoping we bring back Peat. Or take a swing at someone like Andre Dillard. Both guys fit the athletic profile that Kubiak seems to favor at OT.

Jennings would cost the Saints their second round pick plus a contract worth more than $5mil/yr. He was effectively off the market once he signed his RFA tender.

Oh, thanks for the info....nevermind....

Yeah he signed his tender last week. We can't afford to part with a second rounder for basically a 4th or 5th wide receiver. I believe that's why the Saints went ahead and signed Cedric Wilson Jr.

I was listening to a pod cast called Saints Now with Trace Girouard. He was talking about how he heard certain people talking about how FS Justin Simmons would be the prefect fit for our defense. I know he's a little older at 31, but if he is still playing at a high level, why not try to bring him in. Girouard was saying Simmons and Mathieu would be a real good Safety team. I've seen a little of his highlights and he ain't no slouch.
