Restricted free agent guard Tim Lelito expects to stay with Saints

Guard Tim Lelito said he expects to remain with the New Orleans Saints this year after he has not yet received any formal offers from other teams as a restricted free agent.

Lelito confirmed that he drew some interest from the Dallas Cowboys, as he first told WWL TV. But the Cowboys were looking at him as a potential backup, while he has a much better chance to start with the Saints.

The deadline for RFAs to sign offer sheets is April 22. Lelito can sign his one-year, $1.67 million qualifying offer from the Saints at any time.
