Well this is a little uncharacteristic. The New Orleans Saints have no doubt been busy this offseason, adding new starting quarterback Derek Carr, running back Jamaal Williams, a pair of talented defensive tackles in Khalen Saunders and Nathan Shepherd along with a few other depth signings. Most recently, they added versatile defensive back Lonnie Johnson Jr. as well.
An active free agency period makes sense considering the losses of several players this offseason. With players like defensive tackles David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle as well as former starting quarterback Andy Dalton all headed to division rivals, the Saints had some holes to plug on their roster. But to the extend that they’ve spent is what’s unexpected.
