The New Orleans Saints didn’t make a move before the NFL’s trade deadline, instead opting to hang tight and ride things out until free agency next March. They didn’t get Emmanuel Sanders, A.J. Green, Robby Anderson, DeVante Parker, Tyler Eifert, or any of the other big-name pass-catchers fans hoped for. So where do they go from here? Let’s consider the facts.
- With a 7-1 record and Drew Brees well-rested at quarterback, the Saints are one of the NFL’s strongest teams. Five weeks of rest and rehab on his surgically-repaired thumb should mean a fresher arm for Brees deeper into the season.
