The New Orleans Saints had no money to go out and improve their team in free agency this year. In fact, their cap situation was so desperate that they have had to let a good portion of role players and starters walk in free agency or be released as a result.
The defensive side of the ball was already set to lose some key assets side, but after being hit with more losses than expected, they will need all the help they can get.
