The Saints have been very active during the 2019 free agency period. So far, they’ve signed defensive tackles Malcom Brown and Mario Edwards, running back Latavius Murray, offensive lineman Nick Easton, return specialist Marcus Sherels, and tight end Jared Cook.
On the surface, it appears the Saints have opened the vaults in order to shore up the most glaring deficiencies on their current roster. Sheldon Rankins’ Achilles injury and David Onyemata’s impending drug suspension forced the Saints to sign Brown and Edwards.
