This offseason, the New Orleans Saints were handed a tough blow to their secondary when their former safety Marcus Williams signed with the Baltimore Ravens early in Free Agency. The team did counter this move by adding safety Marcus Maye the very same day but would then be informed weeks later of the retirement of their once All-Pro safety Malcolm Jenkins. The losses of (Marcus) Williams and Jenkins placed the team in a rough spot, now having to replace two major contributors at the safety position.
And yet, the hole in the secondary was ready to expand once again.
