One particular main need to have for the Saints this offseason is a defensive tackle. The Jets Henry Anderson could be the ideal remedy.
There is a environment of uncertainty going through the Saints ideal now regarding the state of the interior of their defensive line. Sheldon Rankins could be out some or all of the 2019 Period. David Onyemata may perhaps begin the period on suspension. Tyeler Davison could be long gone in no cost agency. But NFL Absolutely free Company 2019 opens on March 13 and a excellent offer might be accessible in Jets defensive tackle Henry Anderson.
The Saints have one defensive tackle who, barring personal injury, will be suiting up for them to open up the 2019 Period. That one player is Taylor Stallworth, an undrafted rookie taken subsequent the 2018 NFL Draft out of South Carolina.
All the things else is up in the air. Very best case state of affairs, Rankins has a fast recovery, Onyemata is not suspended and all the Saints have to do is convey in a rotational player for depth at defensive tackle. Worst case, it is just Stallworth and the Saints are bringing in far more fellas like Tyrunn Walker to at minimum set ample fellas on the area.
Either way, when it comes to no cost agency, the Saints can both make a splash or convey in a sound player who will assist in rotation and depth and add far more than Davison did if they never pick out to resign him in advance of no cost agency begins. There are splashes like bringing in an Ndamukong Suh or Grady Jarrett. And, by the way, Grady Jarrett is much and absent the grand prize at this placement team heading into no cost agency if the Falcons fall short to preserve him.
But there are other names out there. Not as splashy but definitely intriguing. One particular of these is Henry Anderson, at this time with the Jets but set to hit no cost agency on March 13.
