The Saints knew going into this offseason that signing a new tight end in free agency, in addition to probably drafting one, would be an item to be checked off. The free agency market at tight end this year isn’t stocked with star power but New Orleans will have to do something. As some names get taken off the available list of free agents, others are added as teams make cuts ahead of Wednesday and the opening of a new league year. One of those added on Monday, Mar. 11, was Jermaine Gresham of the Cardinals.
The main name the Saints have to be watching is Jared Cook of the Raiders.
