The New Orleans Saints are going to be even more top-heavy on the defensive side of the ball next season than they were in 2020. Given their immense salary cap issues, New Orleans was forced to let go of a few high-impact players.

Malcom Brown, Trey Hendrickson, and Sheldon Rankins are all players on the team’s defensive line that made an impact a season ago yet won’t be back in 2021.
