Saints' Free Agency Needs: Edge Rushers, WRs, DBs, DT

0:00It's April 3, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. Free agency is dragging now, but the New Orleans Saints got no time to chill. They still need edge rushers, wide receivers, defensive backs, and defensive tackles before the 2026 draft. Signing a veteran to could turn those desperate needs into nice-to-haves, making draft picks easier. Shout out to the consensus list from two dozen spots. Narrow down to top available names like Joey Bosa and Jawan Jennings. On the edge, guys like Joey Bosa at number 29, Jadevi and Clowne at 76, and even Cameron Jordan at 90 are still out there. The Saints brought back Chris Rump the second, but he's fighting for a rotation spot behind Chase Young and Carl Granderson. Most of these rushers are over 30, so think short-term boost, not forever fixes. Wide receivers are screaming for help, with Chris Olabe carrying the load. Jawan Jennings at 15, Keenan Allen at 79, and DeAndre Hawkins at 130 top the board.

1:04Jennings would be a steal for reliability, and Allen might vibe with the new coordinator, but watch for age or injury flags on the rest. Defensive backs and tackles rounded out slim. For the slot corner need after Alente Taylor bounced, Mike Hilton or Harrison Smith could plug in. Up front, Kalei Campbell at 60, and DJ Reader at 64 are the big names, both over 30, filling gaps left by departures. As the draft nears, these vets are holding out for cash or fits, but the Saints can snag depth before rookies flood the league. Smart moves now keep them competitive.
