The New Orleans Saints will have a tough time keeping two of their top free agents, safety Marcus Williams and left tackle Terron Armstead once they see the money they can get on the open market. With the Saints not expected to franchise tag Williams or Armstead, they should be free to see their opportunities as NFL free agency kicks off next week. How this process may take place, and how the Saints replace these two cornerstones if lost.
Can the Saints look to trade up in this year's NFL draft? They have the capital to get it done and have traded up every years of Jeff Ireland's tenure, with an aggressive streak even proceeding his arrival. What the Saints have not yet done with Ireland at the helm of the draft however is trade up for a wide receiver. Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson both raised their stock at the NFL scouting combine, could they bring about a new approach for Ireland and New Orleans?
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers reportedly agreed on an enormous deal making Rodgers the highest-paid player in the NFL. As the veteran quarterback trade market continues to not live up to the hype, free agents like Jameis Winston and Teddy Bridgewater could see their value sore on the open market. With tight ends also flying off the shelves thanks to franchise tags to Mike Gesicki, Dalton Schultz, and David Njoku, another pool of players continues to dry up for the Saints.
