Saints Sign Kenny Pickett for Quarterback Depth

0:00Here's more NFL news from March 7th. The New Orleans Saints enter the offseason with a tight salary cap, forcing them to hunt for budget-friendly free agents to fix their offense. They need more depth inside the offensive line and at skill positions, plus a reliable back-up quarterback behind Rookie Tyler Show. Talk of trading spends a rattler to teams like the New York Jets or Indianapolis Colt has picked up, leaving the Saints short on quarterback options, if it happens. Playing a third or fourth arm for training camp makes sense to protect against injuries or struggles. Saints' wire-writer John Siggler floated the idea of signing Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback Kenny Pickett as a cheap addition to the death chart. The 28-year-old former first-round pick-out of Pittsburgh has bounced around a few teams, but no Saints' offensive coordinator, Kellyn Moore. From past work, Pickett brings starter experience from enough games to step up as a number two if needed, without costing a fortune. His flashes of potential could give New Orleans a winner-two-bridge option.
