With the loss to the 49ers still fresh on the minds of most Saints fans, now the anxiety of a complicated free agent period begins. The WAFB Sports Team has selected several stories below that are worth your examination.
From CBS Sports:
A Brees exit from the Saints would make the previous departure of a New Orleans superstar -- Chris Paul a couple of months ago -- come off more like the departure of the middle sister from the 1990s TV series Family Matters: gone and forgotten like he never existed. That's how much Brees means to the Saints organization and to the city of New Orleans.
From WWL.com:
With the season now in the rearview mirror – though some would say not far enough behind with wounds still open – we believe at WWLTV.com it's time to hit on our yearly "roster check"
From the Bleacher Report:
The Dallas Cowboys have a close eye on New Orleans guard Carl Nicks, as there's a good chance that he'll enter free agency. Coming off of two-straight All-Pro selections, the former Cornhusker is looking to sign his second professional contract, and it may not be with the Saints.
From SB Nation:
Obviously the first order of business is to sign quarterback Drew Brees, who will receive the franchise tag if the two sides cannot work out a long-term extension. Wide receivers Marques Colston and Robert Meachem and Pro Bowl guard Carl Nicks are also free agents that need contracts sooner than later.
From ESPN:
The Saints have another potential contract situation percolating. As best I know, there haven't been any threats or holdouts, but the Saints almost have to do something about the contract of tight end Jimmy Graham.
From Music City Miracles:
Another day, another receiver on my Titans free agency wish list. Marques Colston is not the polarizing figure that previous receivers on the list were. There are zero character concerns with Colston.
From the Bleacher Report:
Upon first thought, Cliff Avril might not seem to be the marquee free-agent acquisition every Saints fan is hoping for on the defensive side of the football. In fact, if you're simply a novice football fan, you may not even know the name at all.
