No Deshaun Watson, New Orleans Saints Have Money To Spend This Offseason

New Orleans Saints Have Ample Opportunity To Upgrade WR | QB Options Dwindling: The New Orleans Saints should be very active in the wide receiver market this offseason and with the ample talent in free agency and the NFL draft, nothing should stand in their way of some substantial upgrades. In addition to returning Michael Thomas, the Saints could add rookies like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Christian Watson, Jameson Williams and others. Thanks to the loaded draft and free agent classes, teams may not jump as early, leaving the Saints comfortable at 18. Meanwhile, the quarterback market is headed in the opposite direction than many expected. Going from what was supposed to be one of the most active veteran QB markets in NFL history, to a lot of teams committing to their guys while at the Combine. What this means for the New Orleans Saints, Jameis Winston, and the rookie class bolstering names like Malik Willis and Kenny Pickett.

New Orleans Saints Deshaun Watson Pursuit Falling Through Was Best-Case Scenario: After the New Orleans Saints missed out on Deshaun Watson, the offseason turned into an astronomical success. Re-signing Jameis Winston, signing Tyrann Mathieu and Jarvis Landry, trading future draft capital to add a first round pick, and more. The New Orleans Saints have been on a tear since Watson landed with the Cleveland Browns, meanwhile his situation becomes more and more convoluted. The best offseason move the Saints made was the one they didn't. Ndamukong Suh would be a great fit for the New Orleans Saints backfield. The team needs another disruptive defensive tackle and even at his age, Suh could bring that and more. Michael Thomas was running sprints at the Saints training facility.

Can The New Orleans Saints Trade For Russell Wilson? Other QB Trade Targets: The New Orleans Saints will turn every stone in the quarterback market to find their next franchise signal caller. While Jameis Winston makes a ton of sense for the team's focus on continuity, but if they decide to make a splash, Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson should be atop the list. Locked On Seahawks host Corbin Smith breaks down what it would take to pry Wilson away from the Seahawks, and the Saints are missing some key pieces. If not Wilson, the Sants still have options at quarterback through the trade market. Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, and Tyler Huntley should all be looked into by the Saints and their potential trade interest.

While that brings excitement and hope to the fanbase and organization, it could mean some players might see their roles change and potentially even find themselves off the roster in 2022. Similarly, the additions of Tyrann Mathieu, Alontae Taylor and others could send some familiar names to the practice squad or other teams. Including one player who just signed his deal this offseason. Chris Olave ranks top ten in Matt Williamson’s fantasy dynasty rankings.

While he's widely regarded as a core special teamer in terms of expectation, if Kwon Alexander isn't back in New Orleans, the Saints could turn to him to help on defense as well behind Demario Davis and Pete Werner. Even after the rookie class and Tyrann Mathieu signing, the Saints absolutely have enough money to sign any free agent, including Jarvis Landry. Beyond Jarvis Landry, another home run offseason move would be extending C.J. Gardner-Johnson early. Ahead of the NFL's schedule release this week, it's clear that the most exciting Saints game this season will be hosting the Cincinnati Bengals, joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and other LSU stars in the Superdome.

Jarvis Landry brings a great piece to help the Saints and Jameis Winston attack all three levels of opposing defenses, he also brings a veteran leader to the offense. The issues the Saints experienced at wide receiver in 2021 should be no more heading into 2022. Kwon Alexander should be the nest LSU player returning to New Orleans.

With Taysom Hill expected to be out of the conversation at the position, the Saints have a clear identity to build around on offense, and will need to do so quickly. Marquez Valdes-Scantling is still available as a field-stretching deep threat, but the Saints will need other options as well. Odell Beckham Jr. was close to landing with the Saints last year, could they pull him in this time around? With Terron Armstead visiting the Miami Dolphins, could the Jameis Winston signing draw him back to the Big Easy?

Ingram could be a Post-June 1 cut, but it wouldn't make sense with the culture. However, other veterans like Nick Vannett, Bradley Roby, and Zack Baun could be trade pieces that would return some late-round pick value and save a little bit against the cap.
