Saints’ offseason moves from ‘20-’21: Did the front office get it right?

The New Orleans Saints have stayed true to self over the past few off-seasons, looking for ways to get better and secure key pieces. As we go into the ‘22-’23 season, let’s look at some of the previous decisions made and see if Mickey Loomis was on point.

New Orleans released one if its (former) most noticeable pass rushers, Trey Hendrickson, to save cap space. Hendrickson signed with Cincinnati and made an immediate impact. Hendrickson posted 13.5 sacks in his last season with New Orleans and posted 14 sacks last year with Cincinnati. Sacks never tell the whole story with pass rushers but that’s a testament to what he brings to the table.
