Our free agency series rolls on as we turn our sights towards the San Francisco 49ers. After a tough break in the Super Bowl, the 49ers may want to retool heading into the next season. That could bode well for the New Orleans Saints in terms of additional options on the free agent market.
San Francisco has 23 potential free agents, and there are a few who could be of some real interest to the Saints, especially if New Orleans wants to make a bold move and shake up the NFC hierarchy. Here are their pending free agents:
- WR Emmanuel Sanders
- FS Jimmie Ward
- CB Jason Verrett
- DE Arik Armstead
- T Shon Coleman
- C Ben Garland
- TE Levine Toilolo
- DE Damontre Moore
- WR Jordan Matthews
- CB Dontae Johnson
- DT Sheldon Day
- DE Anthony Zettel
- DE Ronald Blair
- DT Ethan Westbrooks
- OLB Elijah Lee (RFA)
- RB Matt Breida (RFA)
- WR Kendrick Bourne (RFA)
- CB Emmanuel Moseley (ERFA)
- QB Nick Mullens (ERFA)
- TE Ross Dwelley (ERFA)
- RB Jeff Wilson (ERFA)
- G Daniel Brunskill (ERFA)
- T Andrew Lauderdale (ERFA)
The most obvious fit for New Orleans would be wideout Emmanuel Sanders.
