Potential solutions for New Orleans Saints’ sparse linebacker corps in 2021

With all of the talk around the New Orleans Saints secondary heading into 2021, it’s easy to forget about the other positions of need for Dennis Allen’s unit. Among those positions are the flanks for superstar Demario Davis. Linebacker is by far one of the most sparse positions on the Saints roster right now, and whether or not the Saints have done enough to address it is the question.

In the past, the Saints have had slightly-below average to passable coverage at linebacker, with Alex Anzalone and A.J. Klein helping to mask deficiencies elsewhere on defense.
