The big waves of NFL free agency have come and gone, and the New Orleans Saints are left with a whittled-down list of players who haven’t signed a new contract just yet. The most notable names in that group would be Pro Bowl guard Larry Warford and former first-round draft pick Eli Apple, who the Saints acquired in a trade back in 2018.
Because this year’s compensatory draft pick cutoff passed by, the Saints will not recoup any future picks once Warford and Apple sign with new teams. But where will they end up playing in 2020?
ESPN writer Matt Bowen suggested the Chicago Bears (a team that quickly expressed interest in the guard) as a match for Warford, while his peers Jeremy Fowler (Detroit Lions) and Field Yates (Cleveland Browns) approached from different angles.
