Terry Fontenot was hired on by the Saints NFC South rival, the Atlanta Falcons, but he may not have much of a chance to sign their big-name free agents.
With players like defensive end Trey Hendrickson hitting the open market, the Saints will do what they can to retain their top-tier talent.
Some will ultimately head elsewhere as is what happens with free agency, and it’s unlikely they join Terry Fontenot in Atlanta, a franchise that will also have little cap space in 2021.
