The New Orleans Saints are facing a tough decision with David Onyemata, a co-starter at defensive tackle the last few years. Onyemata is a pending free agent who will entertain offers from other teams beginning March 16 (though he can’t sign anything until March 18), and it’s unclear whether the Saints will bring him back.
That’s troubling because Onyemata led his position in snaps played per game last season. Here’s how that hierarchy shook out, per Pro Football Reference:
- David Onyemata, 37.7 snaps per game (15 games)
- Sheldon Rankins, 32.2 snaps per game (10 games)
- Malcom Brown, 30.
