METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints have made it clear they don’t plan to rebuild under new coach Dennis Allen. So they’ll stay aggressive in free agency despite some major salary-cap constraints.
However, they do care about getting players at the right value. So that will create some tough choices with how much to spend on a quarterback and two of ESPN’s top seven unrestricted free agents -- left tackle Terron Armstead and safety Marcus Williams.
The Saints are not expected to use the franchise tag on Williams for the second straight year, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
