INDIANAPOLIS -- Kenny Vaccaro hoped the New Orleans Saints would offer him a contract extension before he became a free agent this year.
But, with two weeks remaining before free agency begins, the Saints aren't planning on re-signing their 2013 first-round pick, according to multiple sources at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
Vaccaro, speaking in a phone interview Wednesday, said he wasn't surprised to hear about the Saints' lack of interest. Had the Saints wanted to lock him up on a long-term deal, they could've pursued an extension at any point last year, but the team balked at the possibility both last offseason and during the 2017 season.
