There shouldn’t be a more critical issue on defense than finding a way to maintain the strength of the secondary.  Retaining Marcus Williams should be one of the Saints’ top priorities, especially since there isn’t an immediate and obvious replacement already on the roster. Still, it is possible the safety prices out and finds larger […]

A significant piece could become available and apparently, that piece is interested in being part of the Saints’ puzzle. Russell Wilson’s camp started to let it be known the quarterback might want out of Seattle a few weeks ago, and The Athletic added more credence to that possibility with a report detailing both sides’ frustrations.
