It’s hard to imagine many teams have fumbled more in free agency than the New Orleans Saints over the past three seasons. They have been one of the NFL’s most active teams, signing a total of 42 players (including re-signing their own free agents). But several big-money misses -- including the soon-to-be-released safety Jairus Byrd -- have led to three straight 7-9 seasons.
Here’s a look at how their decisions have panned out:
Total signings: 42* (third most in NFL)
Total contract value: $205,801,882 (14th in NFL)
Three-season W-L: 21-27
