Lot of faith in our current dudes to stay healthy to keep on field with Cam

SI's player comparison :covri:

Anzalone is an ultra-athletic linebacker who just could not stay healthy at Florida. If he does, he easily could be the best playmaker in the Saints’ linebacking corps—and that’s as of 2017, not beyond. It’s a risk, but also addresses a need for New Orleans as it tries hard to fix its defense.
Scouting report: Anzalone plays without a governor, taking on big bodies at the line and using his top-shelf pursuit speed to shoot into the backfield cover a lot of east-west ground—he had the third-fastest 40 time among non-Jabrill Peppers linebackers at the combine. When Anzalone lets himself get locked onto a defender, he doesn’t always have the strength to shed him and get to the ball. He had his last two seasons cut short by injuries—a shoulder injury in 2015, a broken forearm in ’16—that should raise some concern about his ability to hold up as an every-down player over 16 games.
Player comparison: Stephone Anthony

Who is this Stephone Anthony guy? Can we trade for him?

He's far more instinctive than Anthony.
