NFL Free Agency heads into its third week. Some teams have been extremely active. However, reckle sly throwing around money has rarely translated into succe s for normally downtrodden franchises.The New Orleans Saints have signed three players off the open market - S Marcus Maye, DT Kentavius Street, and S Daniel Sorensen. They've also re-signed QB Jameis Winston and locked up restricted free-agent WR Deonte Harty, DE Carl Granderson, and DT Shy Tuttle among other depth players. In the proce s, New Orleans has also lost big-name free agents LT Terron Armstead (Dolphins) and FS Marcus Williams (Ravens). The Saints are expected to addre s Jason Castro Jersey the rest of their roster needs in next month's NFL Draft. However, there is still some free-agent talent available for the team to explore. Andy Dalton (34 - Bears)Ryan Fitzpatrick (34 - Washington)With Winston under contract for the next two years, the Saints may still use a first-round pick on a quarterback. They may also want to bring in a backup with NFL starting experience. Winston mi sed the last ten contests with a knee injury and the Saints have needed a backup for 18 games over the last three years Dalton was 50-26-1 as a starter for Cincinnati between 2011 and 2015, leading the Bengals to 5 playoff appearances. Since 2016, Dalton is just 27-43-1 as a starter for bad teams with the Bengals, Cowboys, and Bears. Hes completed 62% of his career attempts with 226 touchdowns and 135 interceptions. Dalton is an accurate pa ser who can di sect a defense, but needs exemplary pa s protection.Fitzpatrick has never been on a playoff team even as a backup in his NFL career. However, he has a strong pocket presence and terrific leadership qualities along with the confidence to make any throw. Hes also served as Winstons backup before while with Tampa Bay in 2017 and 2018.The mercurial Fitzpatrick has torched defenses one week, then imploded his own team the next throughout his 17-year career. Hes started for nine different teams and owns a 59-87-1 record as a starter.Additionally, keep an eye for a potential release of either Nick Foles (Bears) or Baker Mayfield (Browns). Both players bring valuable playoff starting experience, but each would garner heavy interest if they become available. Marlon Mack (25 - Colts)Melvin Gordon (29 - Broncos)Jerick McKinnon (29 - Chiefs)Darrel Williams (26 - Chiefs)Wayne Gallman (27 - Vikings)This offense revolves around the versatile talents of RB Alvin Kamara. However, Kamara could be facing a league suspension from a Fernando Rodney Jersey February incident in Las Vegas. The Saints could look to bring in another back capable of taking the load off 32-year-old backup RB Mark Ingram.Mack and Gordon have both been highly productive feature backs. Theyve also shown the willingne s to share time in a backfield and be effective with limited touches. Both are physical runners between the tackles with the athleticism to create plays in space.McKinnon, Williams, and Gallman have never been featured backs in their careers. However, all three are effective receivers and have shown that they can be productive rushers when given the opportunity.This is a position that the Saints could addre s with a draft choice. The cost of free-agent backs has been reasonable, making it a good po sibility that New Orleans adds Phil Hughes Jersey a proven veteran on a one-year deal before the draft. A. J. Green (34 - Cardinals)Emmanuel Sanders (35 - Bills)Mohamed Sanu (32 - 49ers)Jarvis Landry (29 - Browns)The absence of injured All-Pro WR Michael Thomas in 2021 highlighted the lack of weapons the Saints have at receiver. Wideouts Deonte Harty and Marquez Callaway are solid complementary targets, but the team needs an upgrade around them and Thomas. Free-agent wideouts have come at a ridiculous cost this offseason. Case in point: Landry's reported contract demands are for an average of around $20 million per year. Unle s that expectation comes significantly down, Landry will not be a Saint.Ten-year veteran Green showed that he could still produce at a moderately high level in 2021. Sanders knows the offense after a productive year with the Saints in 2020. The well-traveled Sanu has been a decent complementary threat throughout his career. With Thomas as the dominant figure of the group, the Saints were not going to bring in a high-profile free-agent receiver. Its po sible that a veteran could come in on a one-year deal, but expect New Orleans to addre s this spot with a high draft choice. *UPDATE* The Saints re-signed WR Tre'Quan Smith to a two-year contract after publishing this article.Kyle Rudolph (32 - Giants)Anthony Firkser (27 - Titans)Eric Ebron (28 - Steelers)Nineteen NFL tight ends had better production than the combined statistics from the Saints trio of Juwan Johnson, Adam Trautman, and Nick Vannett in 2021. New Orleans sat and watched while several talented tight ends flew off the market. There are few left that would provide an upgrade.Eleven-year vet Kyle Rudolph caused nightmares for Saints defenders and fans alike while with Minnesota. Rudolph looked well past his prime last year with the Giants, but is still an accomplished receiver that would upgrade the position.Eric Ebron is a very similar player to Jared Cook, also a free-agent. Both are athletic mismatches as receivers, but are extremely inconsistent in production and effort. Firkser developed into a productive complementary target in Tenne see, but didnt live up to expectations when given a bigger role in Bert Blyleven Jersey 2021.Given the inflated cost of free-agent wideouts, I felt sure that the Saints would target a top-tier tight end and addre s receiver in the draft. That didnt happen, but New Orleans could still bring in Rudolph or Firkser Glen Perkins Jersey on a one-year deal to provide competition at the position.Eric Fisher, LT (31 - Colts)Nate Solder, RT (33 - Giants)Ereck Flowers, G/T (28 - Washington)Mark Glowinski, G (29 - Colts)Scroll to ContinueArmstead's lo s has some fans in a panic. Its entirely po sible that the Saints move Ryan Ramczyk to the left side and plug in steady veteran James Hurst or promising second-year T Landon Young on the right.Fisher and Solder are both accomplished veterans who could be a short-term solution. Flowers, a former tackle, or Glowinski would only be brought in to shake up the interior of the line.New Orleans may pull the trigger if a blue-chip prospect at tackle falls to them with their first draft pick. Otherwise, its more likely that the Saints stay with their in-house options over going with a veteran free agent. Eddie Goldman (28 - Bears)Akiem Hicks (32 - Bears)Antwaun Woods (29 - Colts)Sheldon Richardson (31 - Vikings)David Onyemata's six-game suspension affected this units productivity last year. Onyemata wound up being the teams only listed defensive tackle to register a sack in 2021. The Saints have a solid rotation here with Onyemata, Shy Tuttle, Jalen Dalton, Albert Huggins, and newly signed Kentavius Street but need more disruption.Goldman is
