The New Orleans Saints finally bagged some compensatory draft picks in 2021, and now they’re looking for more. In addition to their extra pick for losing personnel executive Terry Fontenot to the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, the Saints are projected to add a couple of more selections next year as compensation for departed free agents.
OverTheCap’s Nick Korte has maintained a series of comp pick cancellation charts for each team in the NFL, and he estimates the Saints to have lost three qualifying free agents: defensive end Trey Hendrickson (projected fourth rounder), defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (projected fifth rounder), and cornerback Justin Hardee Sr (projected seventh rounder).
